Question

You are in a carnival ride that consists of a circular room that spins around its center. You stand against the wall at the edge of the room. The room spins at a constant rate of one revolution every 5 seconds, and the room has a radius of 5 m. Your mass is 70 kg. After the room reaches it final speed, the floor drops out from beneath you, yet you remain stuck to the wall. What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on you by the wall, and at what rate (power) does the normal force perform work on you? (Please explain the power that the normal force does work in detail.)
