A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, slowingfrom 87.1 km/h to 49.6 km/h in the 14.1 s that it takes to roundthe bend. The radius of the curve is 123 m. Compute theacceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 49.6 km/h.Assume that it continues to slow down at this time at the samerate.
