s 9. A passenger with a mass of 62 kg is seated on a Ferris Wheel at a carnival. The seats on the Ferris Wheel swivel so that the passenger is always seated upright (.e. their back is vertical). Suppose that the Ferris Wheel rotates at a constant rate of 2.0 revolution per minute and has a radius of 62 m. (A) Use the figure below to draw in the forces acting on a person seated on a Ferris Wheel. Use this information to construct a free- body diagram of the forces acting on a passenger on a Ferris Wheel. Assume the passenger can be treated as a point mass. Hint: There are two normal forces, one from the back of the seat (n.) and one from the bottom of the seat (n.). (B) Write down the centripetal force equations for the centripetal forces acting on the passengers at the top and bottom of the Ferris Wheel Тор: Bottom: (C) Calculate the normal force from the seat bottom (n.) acting on the passengers at the top and bottom of the Ferris Wheel (D) What is the maximum rotation rate (in rpms) the Ferris Wheel can have and not loose the passengers?
