In the ritual dance Los Voladores five dancers climb a pole. One dancer performs a dance on top of the pole representing the deity. The other four dancers sit on the wooden rigging and secure themselves with ropes then they cast themselves off and the weight of their bodies turn the frame as they descend suspended by the rope. What do the four dancers suspended by ropes represent

6 cos 34, 6 sin 34 trig

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
