Question

A roller-coaster car has a total mass (including passengers) of 530 kg. Sitting in the car is a passenger with a mass of 51.7 kg (see figure above). The car reaches the lowest point of a circular arc in the track, point A in the figure below, moving at a speed of 14.3 m/s. The radius of the arc is r 1 = 27.2 m. What is the magnitude (in N) of the force that the seat exerts on the passenger at point A?
