Answer:
b) a = 52.26 m / s², a ’= 13.06 m / s², c) N = 2.79 10⁴ N, d) N = 1.89 10³ N
Explanation:
a) In the attached we can see the free body diagrams for the two positions, position A in the lower part of the circle and position B in the upper part of the circle
b) Let's start at point A
Let's use that the acceleration is centripetal
a = v² / r
let's calculate
a = 28² / 15.0
a = 52.26 m / s²
as they relate it is centripetal it is directed towards the center of the circle, therefore for this point it is directed vertically upwards
Point B
a ’= 142/15
a ’= 13.06 m / s²
in this case the acceleration is vertical downwards
c) The values of the normal force
point A
let's use Newton's second law
∑ F = m a
N- W = m a
N = mg + ma
N = m (g + a)
N = 450.0 (9.8 + 52.25)
N = 2.79 10⁴ N
d) Point B
-N -W = m (-a)
N = ma -m g
N = m (a-g)
N = 450.0 (14.0 - 9.8)
N = 1.89 10³ N
