A Ferris wheel at a carnival has a radius of 27 feet. Suppose it turns at a rate of 50 revolutions per hour. (a) Find the angular speed of the wheel in radians per hour. (b) Find the linear speed of a passenger in feet per minute. Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest whole number. (a) Angular speed: | radians per hour ? (b) Linear speed: feet per minute
