**Problem 4: Analyzing a Ferris Wheel Scenario**A Ferris wheel of radius 15 meters turns clockwise as shown. A man of mass 70 kg stands on a scale in the Ferris wheel car without slipping. At the time shown, the man is moving down at 4 m/s but speeding up at a rate of 1.5 m/s².**Tasks:**a. **Draw the free body diagram showing the forces on the man.**- Diagram Explanation: The diagram should include the gravitational force (weight) acting downward, the normal force from the scale acting upward, and possibly a static friction force acting horizontally if necessary to prevent slipping, depending on the configuration of the Ferris wheel car.b. **What is the static friction force acting on the man?**- Calculation steps: To be determined based on forces in the vertical and, potentially, horizontal direction.c. **What does the scale read at this time?**- Explanation: The reading on the scale would be equivalent to the normal force exerted by the man, adjusted for the acceleration due to the motion of the Ferris wheel.d. **Now assume that the man’s shoes just start slipping on the scale at this time. What is the coefficient of static friction between the man’s shoes and the scale?**- Explanation and formula: The coefficient of static friction can be calculated using the maximum static friction force that prevented slipping initially, using the formula: \[ F_{\text{friction, max}} = \mu_s \cdot F_{\text{normal}} \]- To calculate: Identify the actual forces based on given values to determine \(\mu_s\).
