- The driver of the truck has an acceleration of 0.55g as the truck passes over the top A of the hump in the road at constant speed. The radius of curvature of the road at the top of the hump is 105 m, and the center of mass G of the driver (considered a particle) is 2.0 m above the road.

For this instant, calculate the friction force from the rod onto the collar and the elastic force on the collar. Indicate whether or not the elastic force points towards the origin O and then calculate the spring stretch.
