Question

Answer question numbers 8(a) - 8(d) on the basis of your understanding of the

following paragraph and the related studied concepts.


A Ferris wheel is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger cars, cabins, tubs, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity. Some of the largest modern Ferris wheels have cars mounted on the outside of the rim, with electric motors to independently rotate each car to keep it upright. These wheels are sometimes referred to as observation wheels and their cars referred to as capsules. However, these alternative names are also used for wheels with conventional gravity-oriented cars.

The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The generic term Ferris wheel, now used in American English for all such structures, has become the most common type of amusement ride at state fairs in the United States. Ferris wheels are large, non-building structures that rotate about a central axis. Seats are attached to the outer rim of the wheel and always hang downwards. This is because as the Ferris wheel spins the seats, or gondolas, can freely rotate at the support where they are connected to the wheel. The Ferris wheel spins upwards with the help of gears and motors, while gravity pulls the wheel back down again. This cycle continues for the duration of the ride.
