circular motion problem (1 Viewer)

If you are riding on the Mad Mouse, which has a mass of 600kg fully loaded, and you move into the bottom of the curve of radius 10m at a speed of 10ms^-1, determine the force exerted on the track.

 

[lfc_reds2003]

F(c) = (-) mv^2/r


maybe try this ...lol

i have but in the answer it says its 1000N vertically downwards.

 

[Stan..]

Using Aural_Sax's Derived Formula F= mv^2/R

Sub in All the Values, Giving
F= 600Kg * (10ms^-1)^2 // 10
F= 100N

Using Common Sense, It is going horizontally Down.

Therefore, The force on the Track is 100N Down.

Wait i dont get it... doesnt mv^2/r give you 6000N?
ie : 600 x 10^2/10
What have i done?

Ms^-1 = x/60
