Homework Statement The figure below shows a Ferris wheel that rotates three times each minute. It carries each car around a circle of diameter 19.0 m. a) What is the centripetal acceleration of a rider? Answer in m/s^2 (b) What force does the seat exert on a 40.0 kg rider at the...

Wow, I just realized I forgot to divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius lol. I'm such an idiot lol.

(1min/60sec)*(71.5revs/min)*(0.152m)*(2*pi rad/1rev)=1.138

Sorry lol, I forgot to include the question. (a) Calculate the speed of a link of the chain relative to the bicycle frame.
