a. A man walks towards a small Ferris wheel having a diameter of 10 m as shown in Figure 3a. The wheel is rotating clockwise with a constant speed of 3 rpm. A bucket is attached to the wheel circumference using pin joints. The man walking pace is increasing by 0.5 m/s per second. Determine the magnitude of acceleration of the bucket seen from the walking man when 8 = 60° (5 marks) Ferris wheel bucket Figure Q3a Note: 2N/60 N = rotation per minute (rpm) b. Figure Q3b shows the map of a racetrack. Two race cars are travelling along the track at the same speed of 300 km/h. Determine the location of both cars and the direction of their velocity if the relative velocity between them is maximum. Justify your answer. (2 marks)
