The London Eye Ferris wheel in London, England (duh), has a diameter of 120 m. While the ride is usually very slow and leisurely, Nigel (the operator) has decided to crank it up a bit so that it makes one revolution every 90.0 s. (a) Find the linear velocity of the passengers when the Ferris wheel is rotating at this rate. (b) A passenger weighs 945 N at the weight-guessing booth on the ground. What is his apparent weight at the highest and lowest point on the Ferris wheel? (c) What would be the time for one revolution if the passenger's apparent weight at the highest point were zero?
