Determine the radius of curvaturenbsprho of the vertical


During a high-speed chase, an 1100-kg sports car traveling at a speed of 160 km/h just loses contact with the road as it reaches the crest A of a hill.

(a) Determine the radius of curvature ρ of the vertical profile of the road at A.

(b) Using the value of ρ found in part a, determine the force exerted on a 70-kg driver by the seat of his 1400-kg car as the car, traveling at a constant speed of 80 km/h, passes through A.
