A student of weight667Nrides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude of the normal forceon the student from the seat is556N. (a) Does the student feel 鈥渓ight鈥 or 鈥渉eavy鈥 there? (b) What is the magnitude of at the lowest point? If the wheel鈥檚 speed is doubled, what is the magnitudeFNat the (c) highest and (d) lowest point?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Student feels 鈥渓ight.鈥

  2. Themagnitude of force at the lowest point is778N.

  3. Themagnitude of force at the highest point is223N.

  4. Themagnitude of force at the lowest point is 1111N.

Step by step solution

01

Given

Weightofstudent=667N,

FN=556N

02

Determining the concept

Ferris wheel ride is in a vertical circular motion. The apparent weight of the rider varies with his position. According to vertical circular motion, a body revolves in vertical circle such that its motion at different points is different, then the motion of the body is said to be vertical circular motion.

Formula is a follow:

FN,bottom-mg=mv2R

where, m is mass, v is velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity, R is radius andFN,bottom is force at bottom.

03

Determining the free body diagrams

The free-body diagrams of the student at the top and bottom of the Ferris wheel are shown below:

Newton鈥檚 second law for the radial direction gives,

mg-FN,top=mv2R

The net force toward the centre of the circle is,

FN,bottom-mg=mv2R

The Ferris wheel is 鈥渟teadily rotating鈥. So, the value Fc=mv2Ris the same everywhere.

The apparent weight of the student is given by FN

04

(a) Determining if student feel “light” or “heavy”

At the top, it is given that, FN,top=556N, andmg=667N. This means that the seat is pushing up with a force that is smaller than the student鈥檚 weight, and it can be said that the student experiences a decrease in his 鈥渁pparent weight鈥 at the highest point. Thus, student feels 鈥渓ight.鈥

05

(b) Determining the magnitude of force at the lowest point

Centripetal force is,

Fc=mv2R=mg-FN,top=667N-556N=111N

Thus, the normal force at the bottom is,

FN,bottom=mv2R+mg=Fc+mg=111N+667N=778N

Hence, themagnitude of force at the lowest point is 778N.

06

(c) Determining if the wheel’s speed is doubled, themagnitude of force at the highest point

If the speed is doubled, the force will be

F'c=m2v2R=4111N=444N

Therefore, at the top,

F'N,top=mg-F'c=667N-444=223N

Hence, themagnitude of force at the highest point is233N.

07

(d) Determining if the wheel’s speed is doubled, the magnitude of force at the lowest point

The normal force at the lowest point will be,

F'N,bottom=F'c+mg=444N+667N=1111N

Hence, themagnitude of force at the lowest point is1111N.
