Chapter 5, Problem 82GP(choose chapter or problem)
A car maintains a constant speed \(v\) as it traverses the hill and valley shown in Fig. 5-45. Both the hill and valley have a radius of curvature \(R\). (a) How do the normal forces acting on the car at \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) compare? (Which is largest? Smallest?) Explain. (b) Where would the drive feel heaviest? Lightest? Explain. (c) How fast can the car go without losing contact with the road at \(A\)

ANSWER:Solution 82 GP
Step 1 of 5:
In this question, we need to compare normal forces acting on the car at points A,B, and C and specify from largest to smallest
In part b, we need to find at which point the driver would feel lightest and heaviest and explain
In part c, we need to find distance covered by car without losing constant with road
