Review Example 5, which deals with the bobsled in Figure 5.5. Also review Conceptual Example 4. The mass of the sled and its two riders in Figure 5.5 is 396 kg. Find the magnitude of the centripetal force that acts on the sled during the turn with a radius of (a) 33.0 m and (b) 24.0 m.


Figure 5.5

(b) Number   Units   
The image illustrates a section of a track featuring two circular loops of different radii. 

At the top of the track is a vehicle moving with a velocity of \(v = 34 \, \text{m/s}\). 

The first loop has a larger radius of \(r = 33 \, \text{m}\). 

Below it, the track includes a smaller loop with a radius of \(r = 24 \, \text{m}\). 

The layout suggests the dynamics involved in the movement of the vehicle as it navigates through varying curved paths. The differences in radii will affect the velocity and forces experienced by the vehicle. 

Both circular paths are clearly marked with dashed red lines to indicate the boundaries of the loops.
