Question
1. **(a)** What is the radius of a bobsled turn banked at 75° and taken at 34 m/s, assuming it is ideally banked?

   \( r = \_\_\_\_ \, \, \text{m} \)

**(b)** Calculate the centripetal acceleration.

   \( a_c = \_\_\_\_ \, \, \text{m/s}^2 \)

**(c)** Does this acceleration seem large to you? Hint: try expressing the quantity as a multiple of \( g \).

   Calculate the ratio of the acceleration compared to \( g \). How does the acceleration compare to \( g \)?

   \( \frac{a_c}{g} = \_\_\_\_ \)
