Answer:
40N
Explanation:
Formula for calculating normal force is expressed as:
[tex]F = ma\\since \ a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\F = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]
m is the mass of the body = 50kg
v is the velocity of the Ferris wheel = 8m/s
r is the radius of the Ferris wheel
Substitute into the formula:
[tex]F = \frac{50 \times 8}{10}\\ F = \frac{400}{10}\\ F = 40N\\[/tex]
Hence the normal force of the seat is 40N
