Activity 11.12.2. The Ferris Wheel.

🔗

You are riding on the top of a vertical Ferris Wheel with radius $R$ and initial tangential velocity $-v_i\text{.}$ The next time you are at the top of the Ferris wheel, your tangential velocity is $-3v_i\text{.}$ Find the angular acceleration of the Ferris wheel.
