The Tower of Doom, at Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado, lifts 15 people 50 m into the air. The engineers ***?

The Tower of Doom, at Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado, lifts 15 people 50 m into the air. The engineers assume the average person has a mass of 70 kg. (24 points)

A. How much rider weight does the ride lift into the air? (Neglect the weight of the cars and air resistance.) (4 points)The Tower of Doom, at Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado, lifts 15 people 50 m into the air. The engineers ***?
A. this is not a location question and B. do your own homework.
This question belongs in Physics, but I will answer it.



First off, the stats are off. The ride is 200 ft tall (61m) and holds 12 people.



And in terms of engineering, drop towers try to achieve -1G, or complete weightlessness. Thus, ideally, the rider weight will be eliminated completely.The Tower of Doom, at Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado, lifts 15 people 50 m into the air. The engineers ***?
i agree with gbr459. how is this important???
