Homework Statement
In an amusement park ride called The Roundup, passengers stand inside a 17.0m -diameter rotating ring. After the ring has acquired sufficient speed, it tilts into a vertical plane.
Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.80s . If a rider's mass is 52.0kg , with how much force does the ring push on her at the top of the ride?
Homework Equations
1.v=2*pi*r/T
2.Fr=mg+n=Fnet=m*Ac=m*v^2/r
The Attempt at a Solution
What I do is T=4.80 m=52.0kg
v=formula#1=11.126m/s
Ac= formula#2=14.56m/s^2
Fr=m*Ac= 757,12N
The answer is wrong but I don't know why...
