Homework Statement
A boy rides a Ferris wheel with a radius of 10.0m. The wheel completes one turn every 30.0s. Find the boy's acceleration at the lowest and highest points on the circular path.
Homework Equations
[tex]\frac{m(V_{max})^{2}}{r}=T-F_{w}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried solving the highest point, meaning the part when the velocity is at its minimum value. I got [tex]9.80 m/s^{2}[/tex]. The value of g that I used was [tex]g = 9.80 m/s^{2}[/tex].
