As every amusement park fan knows, a Ferris wheel is a ride consisting of seats mounted on a tall that rotates around a horizontal axis. When you ride in a Ferris wheel at constant speed, what are the directions of your acceleration `veca` and the normal force `vecF_(N)` on you (from the always upright seat) as you pass through (a) the highest point and (b) the lowest point of the ride? (c) How does the magnitude of the acceleration at the highest point compare with that at the lowest point? (d) How do the magnitude of the normal force compare at those two points?

Answer

`mv^(2)//R`
