Homework Statement



In an amusement park rocket ride, cars are suspended from L = 4.19 m cables attached to rotating arms at a distance of d = 6.05 m from the axis of rotation. The cables swing out an angle of theta = 46.7 degrees when the ride is operation. What is the angular speed of rotation?

Homework Equations


Ac=V^2/r (maybe?)

The Attempt at a Solution


I have no idea where to start. I'm in major need of help
