Spinning Carnival Ride#
The carnival ride illustrated below is spinning at \(\dot \alpha = {{params.alpha_dot}} \ \rm{rev/s}\). Each compartment’s center is \(r_1 = {{params.r1}} \ \rm{m}\) away from the center of the mechanism. Passengers sit along the inner edge of the compartments, which have a radius \(r_2 = {{params.r2}} \ \rm{m}\). The compartments and the mechanism are spinning counterclockwise.
Part 1#
If a compartment is spinning at \(\dot \beta = {{params.beta_dot}} \ \rm{rev/s}\) relative to the arm holding it, what is the maximum speed felt by a passenger during the ride?
