The London Eye on the south bank of the Thames River (between the Jubilee and Westminster bridges) is one of the largest Ferris wheels in the world1. It has a height of 135 meters and takes about 30 minutes to make one complete rotation. What is the centripetal acceleration of a person inside one of the cars on the rim? What would be the normal force on a 100 kg person at the top? At the bottom? (Would the person notice the change in n?)
