Question

Most large amusement parks have a ride that looks like a large sailing ship that will seat 30 to 40 people at one time. These rides swing back and forth like a pendulum. While most do not go all the to the top of the arc (upside down at the top of the arc), some do. Consider one of these rides that has swung up to the top and balances there for several seconds (no motion) before starting to slowly swing downward. During the few seconds at the top of the arc when it is motionless, find the magnitude of the force exerted by the ride on a 60 kg rider. 175 N 590 N 17, 600 N 1760 N

Explanation / Answer

The force exerted by the ride

= normal force = mg = (60 kg) (9.81 m/s2)

~= 590 N (2nd option)
