Calculate the minimum radius for the semi-circular hump

Reference no: EM13332070

You are designing the section of a roller coaster ride shown in the figure. Previous sections of the ride give the coaster a speed of 16.1 m/s at the top of the incline, which is 39.1 m above the ground. Government safety regulations state that the riders' centripetal acceleration should be no more than 1.61 g's at the top of the hump and no more than 5.61 g's at the bottom of the loop. Calculate:

a. the minimum radius for the semi-circular hump

b. the minimum radius for the vertical loop.
