Question

A Ferris wheel with a radius of 9.8 m rotates at a constant rate, completing one revolution every 37 s. Suppose the Ferris wheel begins to decelerate at the rate of 0.19 rad/s2 when the 60-kg passenger is at the top of the wheel. Find the magnitude of the net torque on the passenger at that time. _____ Nm

Step 1

Given: Mass of passenger, m = 60 kg Radius of Ferris wheel, r = 9.8 m The moment of inertia, I = m * r^2 Substitute the values: I = 60 * (9.8)^2 I = 60 * 96.04 I = 5762.4 kg*m^2 Show more…
