Question

please help me figure this out
A Ferris wheel has radius 5.0 m and makes one revolution in8.0seconds. A person weighing 670N is sitting on one of the benchesattached at the rim of the wheel. What is the apparentweight(normal force exerted on her by the bench) of the person asshe passes through the hightest point of her motion? please help me figure this out

Explanation / Answer

Radius r = 5 m

Period T = 8 s

Angular speed w= 2( pi ) / T

                           =0.7853 rad / s

Weight W = 670 N

Apperent weight = W – mrw^ 2

                           = 670 – 210.86

                            = 459.13 N  

Since mass m = W / g = 68.36 kg
