Answer:
Explanation:
a ) speed of passenger = circumference / time
= 2π R / Time
= 2 x 3.14 x 50 / 60
= 5.23 m /s
b )
centrifugal force = m v² /R
= (882 /9.8 ) x 5.23² / 50
= 77.47 N
Apparent weight at the highest point
real weight - centrifugal force
= 882 - 77.47
= 804.53 N
Apparent weight at the lowest point
real weight + centrifugal force
= 882 +77.47
= 959.47 N
c ) if the passenger’s apparent weight at the highest point were zero
centrifugal force = weight
mv² /R = mg
v² = gR
= 9.8 X 50
v = 22.13 m /s
d )
apparent weight
mg - mv² / R
= 882 - (882 / 9.8 )x 22.13²/50
= 882 + 882
= 1764 N

I like playing basketball. So I'm the object in motion. Until an unbalanced force comes and hits me I fall and stay at rest.
Answer:
Explanation:
When the central shaft rotates , the seat along with passenger also rotates . Their rotation requires a centripetal force of mw²R where m is mass of the passenger and w is the angular velocity and R is radius of the circle in which the passenger rotates.
This force is provided by a component of T , the tension in the rope from which the passenger hangs . If θ be the angle the rope makes with horizontal ,
T cos θ will provide the centripetal force . So
Tcosθ = mw²R
Tsinθ component will balance the weight .
Tsinθ = mg
Dividing the two equation
Tanθ = 
Hence for a given w , θ depends upon g or weight .
