6. A 900 kg roller coaster car starts from rest at point A rolls down the track and then goes around a loop and when it leaves the loop flies off the inclined part of the track. All the dimensions are: H = 80 m, r = 15 m, h = 10 m, ϴ = 30̊. d. What is the force applied by the surface on the car at point B?

FN - mg = mv2/r FN = mg + mv2/r FN = m(g + v2/r) FN = 900kg(9.8m/s2 + (39.6m/s)2/15m) FN = 102,910N

All the dimensions are: H = 80 m, r = 15 m, h = 10 m, ϴ = 30̊. e. What is the force applied by the surface on the car at point C?

FN + mg = mv2/r FN = mv2/r - mg FN = m(v2/r - g) FN = 900kg((39.6m/s)2/15m - 9.8m/s2) FN = 49,961N
