Answer:
60,480 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, let us have a look at the <em>formula of factorial of a number 'n'</em>:
i.e. multiply n with (n-1) then by (n-2) upto 1.
<em>Keep on subtracting 1 from the number and keep on multiplying until we reach to 1.</em>
<em></em>
So, 
can be written as: 
Similarly 
can be written as: 
Re-writing

Now, the expression to be evaluated:
<span>Acceleration of a passenger is centripetal acceleration, since the Ferris wheel is assumed at uniform speed:
a = omega^2*r
omega and r in terms of given data:
omega = 2*Pi/T
r = d/2
Thus:
a = 2*Pi^2*d/T^2
What forces cause this acceleration for the passenger, at either top or bottom?
At top (acceleration is downward):
Weight (m*g): downward
Normal force (Ntop): upward
Thus Newton's 2nd law reads:
m*g - Ntop = m*a
At top (acceleration is upward):
Weight (m*g): downward
Normal force (Nbottom): upward
Thus Newton's 2nd law reads:
Nbottom - m*g = m*a
Solve for normal forces in both cases. Normal force is apparent weight, the weight that the passenger thinks is her weight when measuring by any method in the gondola reference frame:
Ntop = m*(g - a)
Nbottom = m*(g + a)
Substitute a:
Ntop = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)
Nbottom = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)
We are interested in the ratio of weight (gondola reference frame weight to weight when on the ground):
Ntop/(m*g) = m*(g - 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g)
Nbottom/(m*g) = m*(g + 2*Pi^2*d/T^2)/(m*g)
Simplify:
Ntop/(m*g) = 1 - 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2)
Nbottom/(m*g) = 1 + 2*Pi^2*d/(g*T^2)
Data:
d:=22 m; T:=12.5 sec; g:=9.8 N/kg;
Results:
Ntop/(m*g) = 71.64%...she feels "light"
Nbottom/(m*g) = 128.4%...she feels "heavy"</span>
C (third graph, the parabola); To find if it is a function or not draw a vertical line on the graph. If the vertical line could never intercept the figure more than once anywhere on the graph then it is a function.
