A Ferris wheel of radius 10.0m rotates in a vertical circle of 7.0rev/min. A 45.0kg girl rides in a car alone. What (vertical) normal force would she experience when she is :
a) halfway towards the top, on her way up?
b) at the top?
c) halfway towards the bottom?
d) at the bottom?

Compare this to her weight in each case.
