Suppose the ring rotates once every 3.80 s . if a rider's mass is 59.0 kg , with how much force does the ring push on her at the top of the ride?

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
