The Texas Motor Speedway is an oval racing track with curves of radius 229 m that are banked at an angle of 24.0°. The size of the track allows for race cars to achieve speeds in excess of 400 km/h. An unintended consequence of the banked curves and high speeds is that race car drivers experience excessive G forces, especially in the "vertical" direction (with respect to their body position), causing dizziness and loss of consciousness.
(a)
A daring driver, pushing his car to the limit, experiences 3.52g of centripetal acceleration during one banking maneuver. What is the speed of his car during the maneuver? (Give your answer in km/h.)
(b)
If the driver is seated so that during the banking maneuver his upper body is aligned with the direction normal to the banked curve, what is the magnitude of the component of the centripetal acceleration along the driver's upper body? (Give your answer in terms of g.)

It is desired to determine the drag force at a given
speed on a prototype sailboat hull. A model is
placed in a test channel and three cables are used
to align its bow on the channel centerline. For a
given speed, the tension is 40 lb in cable AB and
60 lb in cable AE.

A steel ball is tethered to the end of a cable. The ball is attached to a spinning axle that causes the ball and cable to rotate in a vertical circle counter-clockwise. The ball moves in a circle of radius R=.50 m centered at a height of 5 m above a flat surface. The rate of rotation increases very slowly until the cable snaps. the cable snaps when ac=20 m/s2. (x=0 at center of circle)
a) how long does it take for the ball to hit the ground after the cable snaps?
b) Relative to the position of the axle over the floor, what is the horizontal displacement of the ball( magnitude and direction)?
c) What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity with which the ball hits the ground?
