Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

We are given this equation; $$\rm (1500\;kg)(9.8\;m/s^2)-11760\;N=(1500\;kg)\left(\dfrac{{\it v^2}}{200\;m}\right)$$ a) A 1500-kg mass of a roller coaster car on the top of its vertical circular path and the normal force exerted on it from the rails is 11760-N where the radius of this vertical circular path is 200 m. Find its speed at the top of its path. --- b) Solving the given formula for $v$; $$v=\sqrt{[(1500\times 9.8)-11760]\dfrac{200}{1500}}$$ $$v=\color{red}{\bf 19.8}\;\rm m/s$$
