Textbook Question

Chapter 6.1, Problem 6.1QQ

You are riding on a Ferris wheel that is rotating with constant speed. The car in which you are riding always maintains its correct upward orientation; it does not invert. (i) What is the direction of the normal force on you from the seat when you are at the top of the wheel? (a) upward (b) downward (c) impossible to determine (ii) From the same choices, what is the direction of the net force on you when you are at the top of the wheel?
