Consider a Ferris wheel, radius 8-m. A 50-kg rider makes 2 rotations per minute. This rider (conveniently) is sitting on a scale.
What will the scale read at the top of the wheel?
What will the scale read at the bottom of the wheel?
How many rotations per minute must the wheel make so the the rider would feel weightless at the top ot the wheel?
