Consider a Ferris wheel in which the chairs hang down from the main wheel via a cable. The cable is L = 2.0 m long, and the radius of the wheel is 12 m (Fig. P5.30). When a chair is in the orientation shown in the figure (the “3 o’clock” position), the cable attached to the chair makes an angle with the vertical. Find the speed of the chair. For simplicity, assume that at this moment the chair is moving in a circle of radius equal to the radius of the wheel.
