An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 11.4 m in diameter from
which 10 kg seats are suspended at the end
of 1.54 m massless chains. When the system
rotates, the chains make an angle of 32.3
◦ with the vertical.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s
What is the speed of each seat?
Answer in units of m/s.
012 (part 2 of 2)
If a child of mass 29.2 kg sits in a seat, what is
the tension in the chain (for the same angle)?
Answer in units of N.
