Suppose you are a roller coaster ride designer and you begin a
new design with safety in mind. Safety regulations state that the
riders' centripetal acceleration should be no more
than ๐‘›=1.65๐‘”n=1.65g at the topof the hump
and no more than ๐‘=5.50๐‘”N=5.50g at
the bottom of the hoop. Previous sections of the
ride give the train a speed
of 11.3 ๐‘š/๐‘ 11.3 m/s at the top of the incline,
which is โ„Ž=37.5 ๐‘šh=37.5 m above the ground.
Ignoring the effects of friction and air resistance:
(a) What is the minimum radius ๐‘…humpRhump you can use
for the semi-circular hump?
(b) What is the minimum radius ๐‘…loopRloop you can use
for the vertical loop?
