Question
A boy with a mass = 50 kg is riding the ferris wheel the radius of the ferris wheel is 5m The ferris wheel rotates with a frequency of 6/ pi rpm at a constant speed
Calculate the centripetal force ? calculate the normal force acting on the boy by the seat when he is at the top and bottom of the wheel
Normal force on top?
Normal force on bottom?
Calculate the normal force and friction acting on the boy when he is at the sides of the wheel (assuming he only receives these two forces)
Normal force?
Friction Force?
If the ferris wheel moves to fast by accident the boy feels weightless (normal force is 0N) what is the speed of the ferris wheel? V= m/s
