Using 1 ft = 0.31 meters, for the (180 + YZ/4)-kg amusement car:
Find the velocity at position 2 and at position 3 (it starts from rest at 1) (2)
40 ft = 20 ft
15 ft
Also find the normal force exerted by the surface on the car at 2. (4)
2
What is the radius of curvature at 3 so the car doesn't go flying off the road? (hint: normal force from the surface is zero) (2)
