Aferris wheel 22.0m in diameter rotates once every 12.5s. what is the ratio of a persons apperenet weight to her real weight (a.) at the top, and (b) at the bottom?

Apparent weight: N = mg - F_up

So basically, you have two forces acting on the body - the force of gravity pulling it down, and the seat pushing it up.

The net force, F = m*a, and we're going to have to use centripetal acceleration in this problem, since it's a Ferris wheel.

So, centripetal acceleration is:

a = w^2 * r (w is omega in this case),

where w = 2pi/t

x=half
