Question

A Ferris wheel rotates anticlockwise at maximum speed. A photograph is taken while rotating. Which option matches the captured image?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

In Ferris wheel motion-tilt problems, remember: cabins lag behind motion, so tilt is opposite the direction of rotation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Motion blur principle.
When rotating anticlockwise, cabins lean in opposite direction of rotation due to inertia. They tilt slightly backward relative to motion.
Step 2: Apply to Ferris wheel.
If wheel rotates anticlockwise, cabins appear tilted clockwise (leaning behind).
Step 3: Compare options.
- (A): Shows wrong tilt (as if clockwise rotation).
- (B): Shows anticlockwise motion blur tilt correctly.
- (C): Shows no tilt. Incorrect.
- (D): Tilt mismatched.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{B}} \]
