Looked up a video of a gentle one. A revolution takes about 2๐ seconds, at which the speed in m/s is the same as the radius in meters, or around 5. Multiply by 3.6 to convert into 18 km/h, which seems realistic for the milder ones. The apparent horizontal centrifugal acceleration will then be ๐ฃยฒ/๐ = 5 msโปยฒ โ 0.5๐, which corresponds to an angle of approx. 26ยฐ from the verical, reasonably close to the video.
The one depicted in the image probably goes about 2x as fast, pulling perhaps 2๐ horizontally for an angle of approx. 63ยฐ.
Damn he mathed all over them
I'd let them math all over me anytime ๐๐ฉ๐งฎ
How does one count in ฯ โข seconds?
It's about 6.5 seconds in the video. I rounded that to 2๐ so I could do the math in my head (other than the tanโปยน(0.5), of course)
"One, two, thr- pi"
