Figure 3.11 showed the motion diagram for Anne as she rode a Ferris wheel that was turning at a constant speed. The inset to the figure showed how to find the acceleration vector at the lowest point in her motion. Use a similar analysis to find Anne's acceleration vector at the 12 o'clock, 4 o'clock, and 8 o'clock positions of the motion diagram. Use a ruler so that your analysis is accurate.
