Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–II: Problem 11

A person riding a Ferris wheel moves through positions at (1) the top, (2) the bottom, and (3) midheight. If the wheel rotates at a constant rate, rank these three positions according to (a) the magnitude of the person’s centripetal acceleration, (b) the magnitude of the net centripetal force on the person, and (c) the magnitude of the normal force on the person, greatest first.

📝 Solution Approach

Find: (a) the magnitude of the person’s centripetal acceleration; (b) the magnitude of the net centripetal force on the person; (c) the magnitude of the normal force on the person
