13. A roller coaster at the Six Flags QC Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology and some basic physics. Each ver- tical loop, instead of being cir- cular, is shaped like a teardrop (Fig. P6.13). The cars ride on the inside of the loop at the top, and the speeds are fast enough to ensure the cars remain on the track. The biggest loop is 40.0m high. Suppose the speed at the top of the loop is 13.0 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration of the riders is 2g (a) What is the radius of the arc of the teardrop at the top?
