Answer:

force needed for the bus to go round the corner is 50,000 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the force needed for the bus to go round the corner, we can use the formula for centripetal force:

F = (mv^2)/r

where F is the centripetal force, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity of the object, and r is the radius of the circular path.

Plugging in the values given in the problem, we get:

F = (2500 kg)(5 m/s)^2 / 50 m

= 50,000 N

So the force needed for the bus to go round the corner is 50,000 N.
