Answer

$79.4m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required radius as follows: $\Sigma F_x=Nsin\theta=ma_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$ $\implies r=\frac{mv^2}{Nsin\theta}$.......eq(1) Similarly $\Sigma F_y=Ncos\theta -mg=0$ $\implies N=\frac{mg}{cos\theta}$ We plug in value of $N$ in eq(1) to obtain: $r=\frac{mv^2 cos\theta}{mg sin\theta}$ $\implies r=\frac{v^2}{gtan\theta}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $r=\frac{(22.7)^2}{(9.81)tan33.5^{\circ}}$ $r=79.4m$
