We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.
1) Equilibrium of forces:
where
is the weight of the person
is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
(1)
2) Equilibrium of torques:
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using
and replacing T1 with (1), we find
from which we find
And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find

Answer:
The minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.
Explanation:
The radius of the loop is 17.6 m. We need to find the minimum speed must the car traverse the loop so that the rider does not fall out while upside down at the top.
We know that, mg be the weight of car and rider, which is equal to the centripetal force.
So, the minimum speed must the car must be 13.13 m/s.
