A section of track for a roller coaster consists of two circular arcs AB and CD joined by a straight portion BC The radius of AB is 27 m and the radius of CD is 72 m. The car and its occupants, of total mass 256 kg, reach point A with practically no velocity and then drop freely along the track. Determine the maximum and minimum values of the normal force exerted by the track on the car as the car travels from A to D. Ignore air resistance and rolling resistance 27 m 40 = 72 m 18 m a The minimum normal force exerted by the track is IN The maximum normal force exerted by the track is N
