An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 8.26 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the end of 1.14 m massless chains. When the system rotates, the chains make an angle of 16.2 degrees with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.
1. What is the speed of each seat? If i did it right i got 4.95 m/s
2. If a child of mass 26.2 kg sits in a seat, what is the tension in the chain (for the same angle)?

If the chains make 16 deg to the vertical, then
v^2/r / g= tan 16, so
v= sqrt(rgtan16)
but r= 4.23+1.14Sin16
I don't get your v.
v^2/r / g= tan 16, so
v= sqrt(rgtan16)
but r= 4.23+1.14Sin16
