Super Fun Challenge Problem #4 (20 marks) Make sure to include all

Super Fun Challenge Problem #4 (20 marks) Make sure to include all work formula calculations etc. A 76 kg person is riding a ferris wheel that has a radius of 38 m and rotates with a period of 47.7 seconds. Assuming that the bottom of the ferris wheel is at ground level find the following: a) the tangential and angular speeds that the wheel rotates b) the angular displacement of one rotation c) the centripetal acceleration d) the centripetal force e) draw a FBD for the person at the bottom of the rotation f) the force of gravity that acts on the person g) the apparent weight of the person at the bottom location h)the horizontal distance that a ball will travel if the person threw the ball horizontally at 10 m/s from the top position on the ferris wheel while it is rotating (assume throw is in the same direction as rotation) Bonus+1: Colour the ferris wheel
