A Ferris wheel at a carnival has a radius of 31 feet. Suppose it turns at a rate of 6 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 hour. Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest whole number. (a) Angular speed: 15 radians per hour (b) Linear speed: 140 feet per hour
