Problem 6
A Ferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius, \(\boldsymbol{R}\mathbf{6}\mathbf{m}\). Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. The Ferris wheel rotates so that riders move at a constant speed, \(\boldsymbol{v}=\mathbf{7 ~ m}/\mathbf{s}\). Consider a rider whose mass, \(\boldsymbol{m}=\mathbf{80}\mathbf{~ k g}\).
How much work does the force exerted by the seat do on the rider as they move from point \( D \) to point \( F \)?
The magnitude of acceleration due to gravity is \(\mathbf{10 ~ m}/\mathrm{s}^{\mathbf{2}}\). Select the closest answer.
the asnwer is -4800 J
