Answer:
Force, F = 187.42 N
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of boy, m = 30 kg
Acceleration due to gravity,
Radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 15 m
Speed of the car, v = 7.3 m/s
The force acting on the boy are force of gravity and the centripetal force. The net force acting on him is as follows :
F = 187.42 N
So, he press against the seat with a force is 187.42 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
