Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the total weight

The total weight $W$ of the seat and the person is the sum of their weights. $W = 305\ N+875\ N = 1180\ N$.

Step2: Analyze the vertical - horizontal force balance

In the vertical direction, the vertical cable supports the total weight. In the horizontal direction, the centripetal force is provided by the tension in the horizontal cable. For a circular - motion problem, the centripetal force $F_c=T_{horizontal}$. First, convert the angular speed $\omega$ from rpm to rad/s. $\omega = 21.0\ rpm=\frac{21.0\times2\pi}{60}\ rad/s= 2.199\ rad/s$.
Assume the radius of the circular path is $r$. The centripetal force $F_c = m\omega^{2}r$. In the vertical - horizontal force analysis, if we consider the forces acting on the seat - person system, and assume the vertical cable is supporting the weight $W = mg$, and the horizontal cable provides the centripetal force. Since there is no information about the radius, we can also use the fact that for a conical - pendulum like situation (in the horizontal circular motion), the horizontal force (tension in the horizontal cable) and the vertical force (weight) are related. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related by the angle $\theta$ of the vertical cable with the vertical. In the limit of a simple analysis, if we consider the forces in the horizontal and vertical directions, and assume the system is in equilibrium in the vertical direction and in circular motion in the horizontal direction. The centripetal force $F_c$ is related to the weight $W$. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related by $F_c = W\tan\theta$. For a horizontal circular motion with no other information about the geometry, if we assume the vertical cable is just supporting the weight and the horizontal cable is providing the centripetal force, and since there is no acceleration in the vertical direction, the vertical component of the tension in the non - horizontal cable balances the weight. The horizontal component of the tension in the non - horizontal cable and the tension in the horizontal cable provide the centripetal force. In a simple case, if we assume the non - horizontal cable is vertical (a simplification for the force analysis), the centripetal force $F_c$ (tension in the horizontal cable $T_{horizontal}$) and the weight $W$ are related by the circular motion equations. The centripetal force $F_c = m\omega^{2}r$. But if we consider the forces in the horizontal and vertical directions only, and assume the vertical force is balanced by the vertical tension component and the horizontal force is the tension in the horizontal cable. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related. For a horizontal circular motion, the centripetal force $F_c$ is provided by the tension in the horizontal cable. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related by the circular motion of the object. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related as $F_c = W\tan\theta$. In the case where we assume the vertical cable is vertical and the horizontal cable is providing the centripetal force, we know that the centripetal force $F_c=T_{horizontal}$. First, find the mass of the system. $m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{1180\ N}{9.8\ m/s^{2}} = 120.41\ kg$. The centripetal force $F_c = m\omega^{2}r$. But we can also use the fact that in the horizontal - vertical force balance, the centripetal force $F_c$ (tension in the horizontal cable) and the weight $W$ are related. Since the system is in horizontal circular motion, and the vertical force is balanced by the vert…

In the vertical - horizontal force analysis, if we consider the forces acting on the seat - person system, and assume the vertical cable is supporting the weight $W = mg$, and the horizontal cable provides the centripetal force. Since there is no information about the radius, we can also use the fact that for a conical - pendulum like situation (in the horizontal circular motion), the horizontal force (tension in the horizontal cable) and the vertical force (weight) are related. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related by the angle $\theta$ of the vertical cable with the vertical. In the limit of a simple analysis, if we consider the forces in the horizontal and vertical directions, and assume the system is in equilibrium in the vertical direction and in circular motion in the horizontal direction. The centripetal force $F_c$ is related to the weight $W$. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related by $F_c = W\tan\theta$. For a horizontal circular motion with no other information about the geometry, if we assume the vertical cable is just supporting the weight and the horizontal cable is providing the centripetal force, and since there is no acceleration in the vertical direction, the vertical component of the tension in the non - horizontal cable balances the weight. The horizontal component of the tension in the non - horizontal cable and the tension in the horizontal cable provide the centripetal force. In a simple case, if we assume the non - horizontal cable is vertical (a simplification for the force analysis), the centripetal force $F_c$ (tension in the horizontal cable $T_{horizontal}$) and the weight $W$ are related by the circular motion equations. The centripetal force $F_c = m\omega^{2}r$. But if we consider the forces in the horizontal and vertical directions only, and assume the vertical force is balanced by the vertical tension component and the horizontal force is the tension in the horizontal cable. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related. For a horizontal circular motion, the centripetal force $F_c$ is provided by the tension in the horizontal cable. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related by the circular motion of the object. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related as $F_c = W\tan\theta$. In the case where we assume the vertical cable is vertical and the horizontal cable is providing the centripetal force, we know that the centripetal force $F_c=T_{horizontal}$. First, find the mass of the system. $m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{1180\ N}{9.8\ m/s^{2}} = 120.41\ kg$. The centripetal force $F_c = m\omega^{2}r$. But we can also use the fact that in the horizontal - vertical force balance, the centripetal force $F_c$ (tension in the horizontal cable) and the weight $W$ are related. Since the system is in horizontal circular motion, and the vertical force is balanced by the vertical tension component (assuming the vertical cable is vertical), the centripetal force $F_c$ (tension in the horizontal cable) is given by $F_c = m\omega^{2}r$. If we assume the radius of the circular path is $r$ and the mass of the system is $m$, and the angular speed is $\omega$. First, convert $\omega$ to rad/s. $\omega = 2.199\ rad/s$. The centripetal force $F_c=T_{horizontal}$. Using $F_c = m\omega^{2}r$, and since we know $W = mg$, we can also use the force - balance relationship. In the horizontal direction, the centripetal force $F_c=T_{horizontal}$. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related. The centripetal force $F_c$ is given by $F_c = W\tan\theta$. In the case where we assume the vertical cable is vertical and the horizontal cable is providing the centripetal force, we know that $T_{horizontal}=m\omega^{2}r$. But if we consider the forces in the horizontal and vertical directions only, and assume the vertical force is balanced, we can also use the relationship $T_{horizontal}=W\tan\theta$. In the limit of a simple analysis, if we assume the vertical cable is vertical, the centripetal force $F_c$ (tension in the horizontal cable) is related to the weight $W$. The centripetal force $F_c$ and the weight $W$ are related as $F_c = W\tan\theta$.
