Multiple Choice

A person riding a Ferris wheel is strapped into her seat by a seat belt.The wheel is spun so that the centripetal acceleration is g.Select the correct combination of forces that act on her when she is at the top.Here, F_g = force of gravity, down; F_b = seat belt force, down; and F_s = seat force, up.

A) F_g = 0, F_b = mg, F_s = 0
B) F_g = mg, F_b = 0, F_s = 0
C) F_g = 0, F_b = 0, F_s = mg
D) F_g = mg, F_b = mg, F_s = 0
E) F_g = mg, F_b = 0, F_s = mg
