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 die passengers.

The axis of the flywheel is aligned with the y-axis as shown (the coordinate systems for each figure align).
