I don't understand... The mass, from what equation, cancels out? Also, no I don't know V=wr or what that last equation you gave was. I know this equation: Ac = v^2/r and I have the centripetal acceleration but I don't know where to go from here. My problem is almost identical to the original...

Well I have a very similar question but it's asking for the ratio of the apparent weight at the top to her real weight

Found PF by searching for help in AP Physics class. I am super grateful for all the helpful people on here that have helped me to answer my physics questions by searching it up and finding it here.

I know this was all a while back, but if you see this, could you explain how we're even supposed to solve this problem? It's asking for the apparent weight at the top of the wheel but how do we find that? It doesn't even give us a mass to start with and I don't know what formulas to use! I...
