Mass, m=150 kg ,
Speed, v=36
km/hr =36000 m/3600
s =10 m/s
Radius, r = 30 m
Force needed to make the turn possible = mv²/r =150x10x10/30 = 500 N
...
Im not sure about the other part

The force acting on the scooter towards the center is 500 N.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the scooter, m = 150 kg
Speed of the rider, v = 36 km/hr = 10 m/s
Radius of the path, r = 30 m
On a circular path, the force acting on an object is called centripetal force. Its formula is given by :
F = 500 N
So, the centripetal force acting on the scooter towards the center is 500 N. The frictional force is providing the centripetal force.
