Question
Express your answer using twosignificant figures. 2. A Ferris wheel has radius 5.0 m and makesone revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670 N is sittingon one of the benches attached at the rim of the wheel. What is theapparent weight (the the normal force exerted on her by the bench)of the person as she passes through the highest point of hermotion? 2. A Ferris wheel has radius 5.0 m and makesone revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670 N is sittingon one of the benches attached at the rim of the wheel. What is theapparent weight (the the normal force exerted on her by the bench)of the person as she passes through the highest point of hermotion?Explanation / Answer
w= 1.94 N, W = 4.57 N, = 0.31 m = w/g, M = W/g For B: F - T - w - (w + W) = m*0 = 0 For A: T - w = M*0 = 0 adding them, F - (3w + W) = 0 F = (3w + W) = 3.22 N
