Homework Statement
A Ferris wheel has a radius of radius of 15.0 m. It rotates at a constant angular speed, and makes one full revolution in 25.0 s. Calculate the apparent weight of a rider (mass = 60 kg) when at the bottom of the wheel.
r=15
T=25s
v=(2*pi*15)/25
a=((2*pi*15)/25)^2/15
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
F=60*((2*pi*15)/25)^2/15=0.9465
Am I doing it right or do I just multiply the mass by g?
