Fast Facts About the London Eye The London Eye first turned on December 31, 1999 to celebrate the new millennium. . It was intended to be a temporary attraction, but its popularity soon made it a permanent and iconic part of the London skyline. ▪ ▪ . Each passenger capsule represents one of the 32 London boroughs. The diameter of its wheel is 120 m (394 ft). Each of the ovoidal capsules weighs 11 tons and can carry 25 people. The wheel completes one revolution in 30 minutes - this slow rotation rate means that it not have to stop to take on passengers, i.e., passengers can easily walk on and off the moving capsules at ground level. Questions 1. How would you classify the motion of this rigid body? 2. Determine the angular velocity of the wheel in vector form, where wwheel is specified in rad/s. Assume that you're viewing the London Eye from the opposite bank of the Thames River, so it appears to be rotating clockwise. 3. Determine the velocity of a capsule in vector form, when it is at the following angular positions: 8 = 0, 1/8, 1/4, π/2, 51/8, and 3π/4 radians, assuming that when 0 = 0, the capsule is at the bottom position, where passengers get on and off.
