/103 A train enters a curved horizontal section of track at a speed of 100 km/h and slows down with con- stant deceleration to 50 km/h in 12 seconds. An ac- celerometer mounted inside the train records a horizontal acceleration of 2 m/s² when the train is 6 seconds into the curve. Calculate the radius of curvature p of the track for this instant.
