Below is a picture of the Enterprise at Valleyfair. The North Star replaced the
Enterprise in 2017. The enterprise spun in a horizontal circle parallel to the
ground. The center arm then lifts the riders up so they are in a vertical circle
perpendicular to the ground as seen in the picture. The enterprise travels in a
horizontal circle of radius 10.0 meters and has a constant velocity of 10.0 m/s.
You have a mass of 100 kg. Calculate the force the seat is applying to you so that
you move in a horizontal circle.
