ANSWER:

5.57 m/s

Explanation:

The magnitude of the velocity of each seat is given by the following equation:


s=\sqrt[]{g\cdot x\cdot(\sin\theta)/(\cos\theta)}

The value of x is the total extension of the seats from the center of the platform, we can calculate it as follows:


\begin{gathered} x=(d)/(2)+(L\cdot\sin \theta) \\ \text{ Replacing:} \\ x=(8.03)/(2)+(3.76\cdot\sin 28.6\text{\degree)} \\ x=5.81 \end{gathered}

Replacing:


\begin{gathered} s=\sqrt[]{9.8\cdot5.81\cdot(\sin \: 28.6)/(\cos \: 28.6)} \\ s=5.57\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

The speed is 5.57 m/s
