Suppose you are a roller coaster ride designer and you begin a new design with safety in mind. Safety regulations
state that the riders' centripetal acceleration should be no more than n = 1.65g at the top of the hump and no
more than N = 5.50g at the bottom of the hoop. Previous sections of the ride give the train a speed of 11.3 m/s
at the top of the incline, which is h = 37.5 m above the ground (see figure). Ignoring the effects of friction and air
resistance:
(a) What is the minimum radius Rhump you can use for the semi-circular hump?
(b) What is the minimum radius Rloop you can use for the vertical loop?

A 0.0267 kg ball is shot from the plunger of a pinball machine. Because of a centripetal force of 0.0266 N, the ball follows a circular arc
whose radius is 0.229 m. What is the speed of the ball?
A string under tension of 50.0 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.5 m at a speed of 20.4 m/s on a frictionless table. The string passes through a small hole in the table at the center of this circle. As the string is pulled in, the speed of the rock increases. When the string is 1.00 m long and the speed is 51.0 m/s, the string breaks. What is the breaking strength, in Newtons, of the string?
