If the radius of curvature of the bump is 52 m, find the apparent weight of a 68-kg person in your car as you pass over the top of the bump.

Complete question:

Driving in your car with a constant speed of v= 22 m/s, you encounter a bump in the road that has a circular cross-section, as indicated in the figure.

If the radius of curvature of the bump is 52 m, find the apparent weight of a 68-kg person in your car as you pass over the top of the bump.

the apparent weight is 34 N

Explanation:

Given:

radius of curvature of the bump =  52 m

mass of the person = 68 kg

Apparent weight of the person due to centripetal acceleration which acts inward, is calculated as follows;

From Newton's second law of motion, apparent weight =

Therefore, the apparent weight is 34 N
