Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly hump") and had it installed. Suppose a 1 800-kg car passes over a hump in a roadway that follows the arc of a circle of radius 18.0 m as in the figure below. (a) If the car travels at 29.0 km/h-what force does the road exert on the car as the car passes the highest point of the hump? magnitude XN direction down x (b) What is the maximum speed the car can have without losing contact with the road as it passes this highest point? x km/h
