Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.5CQ
People sit on a Ferris wheel at points A, B, C, and D. The Ferris wheel travels at a constant angular velocity. At the instant shown, which person experiences the largest force from his or her chair (back and seat)? Assume you can neglect the size of the chairs—that is, the people are located the same distance from the axis of rotation.
- a. A
- b. B
- c. C
- d. D
- e. The force is the same for all the passengers.

1. (bold type indicates a vector) An object of mass m = 10 kg
may rotate in a vertical plane about the fixed point P under
the action of gravity. The distance d from the point P to the
center of mass C is d = 0.5 m. The moment of inertia Ie
about the center of mass C is unknown. The object starts at
rest in the position shown and is then released. At the
instant of release the acceleration of the center of mass is
measured to be a, = (-5 m/sec²)j (i.e., downward). Use the
given information to determine the moment of inertià I,
about the center of mass. Use g = 10 m/sec?.
