A man having a weight of 180 lb sits in a chair of the Ferris wheel, which, excluding the man, has a weight of 15 000 lb and a radius of gyration ko = 37 ft. If a torque M = 80(103) lb • ft is applied about O, determine the angular velocity of the wheel after it has rotated 180°. Neglect the weight of the chairs and note that the man remains in an upright position as the wheel rotates. The wheel starts from rest in the position shown.
