An amusement park ride consists of a car moving in a vertical circle on the end of a rigid boom of negligible mass. The combined weight of the car and riders is 6.00 kN, and the radius of the circle is 15.0 m. At the top of the circle, (a) what is the force FB on the car from the boom (using the minus sign for downward direction) if the car's speed is v?

Incomplete question as the car's speed is missing.I have assumed car's speed as 6.0m/s.The complete question is here

Answer:


F_(B)=-5755N

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up force equation

∑F=ma

∑F=W+FB


(mv^(2) )/(R)=W+F_(B)\\ F_(B)=(mv^(2) )/(R)-W\\F_(B)=((W/g)v^(2) )/(R)-W\\F_(B)=((6000N/9.8m/s^(2) )(6m/s)^(2) )/((15m))-6000N\\F_(B)=-5755N

The minus sign for downward direction
