Answer:
955.5N
Explanation:
The normal force is given by the difference between the centripetal force and gravity at the top of the loop:
mass m = 65kg
radius of the loop r = 4m
velocity v = ?
g = 9.8 m/s²
To find the centripetal force, you need to find the velocity of the car at the top of the loop.
Use energy conservation:
At the top of the hill:
At the top of the loop:
Setting both energies equal and canceling the mass m gives:
Solving for v:
Using v in the first equation:
