Problem
A ride spins riders in a horizontal circle at the edge of a platform of radius 6.0 m, completing one revolution every 4.0 s. The platform is rebuilt with a reduced radius of 3.0 m. To keep the magnitude of the riders’ centripetal acceleration the same as before, what must be the new period of rotation?
