The centripetal force is:
F = mv² / R
Where:
m: mass of the object
v: object speed
R: radius of the curve.
We have to:
m = 2000kg
v = 25 m / s
R = 80 meters.
Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:
F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m
F = 15625 N

Answer: The bottom of the ladder is moving at 3.464ft/sec
Explanation:
The question defines a right angle triangle. Therefore using pythagorean
h^2 + l^2 = 10^2 = 100 ...eq1
dh/dt = -2ft/sec
dl/ dt = ?
Taking derivatives of time in eq 1 on both sides
2hdh/dt + 2ldl/dt = 0 ....eq2
Putting l = 5ft in eq2
h^ + 5^2 = 100
h^2 = 25 = 100
h Sqrt(75)
h = 8.66 ft
Put h = 8.66ft in eq2
2 × 8.66 × (-2) + 2 ×5 dl/dt
dl/dt = 17.32 / 5
dl/dt = 3.464ft/sec
