  1. r The model s = 4.95 gives the speed needed to keep riders pinned to the wall. In the model, sis the speed in meters per second and ris the radius of the ride in meters. Find the speed necessary to keep riders pinned to the wall of a ride that has a radius of 2.61 meters. EXAMPLE 4 Using a Square Root Equation Amusement Parks On an amusement park ride, riders stand against a circular wall that spins. At a certain speed, the floor drops out and the force of the rotation keeps the riders pinned to the wall.
