If the navy pier ferris wheel in chicago has a circumference that is 56% of the circunference of the first ferris wheel built in 1893.
a. what is the radius of the navy pier wheel?
b. what was the radius of the first ferris wheel?
c. the first ferri wheel took nine minutes to make a complete revolution. how fast was the wheel moving?

a. The radius of the navy pier wheel is 56% of the radius of the first ferris wheel

b. The radius of the first ferris wheel was 179% of the radius of the navy pier ferris wheel

c. The wheel was moving at 0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Navy pier wheel circumference = Cn

First ferris wheel circumference = Cf

Cn = 0.56*Cf

a.

Circumference Perimeter = 2*π*Radius

Navy pier wheel radius = Rn

First ferris wheel radius = Rf

Cn = 0.56*Cf

2*π*Rn = 0,56*2*π*Rf        (equation 1)

dividing both sides by 2π

Rn = 0,56*Rf

b.

From equation 1

2*π*Rn = 0,56*2*π*Rf

dividing both sides by 2π

Rn = 0.56*Rf

dividing both sides by 0.56

Rf = *Rn

Rf = 1.79*Rn

c.

9 minutes / revolution

1 revolution = 2π radians

The wheel makes 2π radians in 9 minutes

Wheel velocity =

Wheel velocity = 0.70

step-by-step explanation:

1. the cylinder is a. 54

2.   a.108 /
