written by Mario Belloni

The Ferris Wheel Javascript Model illustrates This program simulates the effect of being on a Ferris Wheel. The simulation shows a wheel that can be varied in radius from 40 m (Ferris' original wheels) to 100 m, or about 10 meters longer than the current world record. In addition, the rotational speed of the wheel can be varied from -20 m/s to 20 m/s. By selecting the checkbox, the free-body diagram can be shown.

This simulation is part of a collection of simulations related to amusement park physics. Additional simulations can be found on the OSP ComPADRE site.

The Ferris Wheel JS Model was developed using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) version 5. It is distributed as a ready-to-run html page and requires only a browser with JavaScript support.

Is the Basis For EJSS Circular Motion Ferris Wheel Model

Changes made by lookang include

added velocity array to be display via checkbox
added theta to show
added title
made free body diagram to show weight and contact force while resultant force is a dotted line to illustrate the difference, actually FBD only has weight and contact force
added values to aid numerical calculations
made R = the outside hub to aid association of radius of circular motion made by carriage and man and woman
made time step to allow exactly 0 , 90 , 180 , 270, 360 degrees, previously was dt =0.02
