Question

a passenger of mass m on a Ferris wheel moves in a vertical circle of radius r with constant speed v assuming that the seat remains upright during the motion which is true about the force the seat exerts on the passenger at the top of the circle

the upward force is equal in magnitude to the passenger's weight
the upward force is greater in magnitude than the passenger's weight
the upward force is smaller in magnitude than the passenger's weight
the upward force is zero

Answer 1

Answer:

the upward force is equal to the passenger weight

Answer 2

The answer that is the truth about the force that the seat exerts on the passenger is the upward force is equal in magnitude to the passenger's weight.

Why the upward force is equal in magnitude to weight

The acting forces on the body has been said to be vertical. This implies that the upward force and the downward force of gravity are the same.

Using the second law of Isaac Newton, the downward direction of the forces would be ascertained.
