Question
Part of a roller-coaster ride involves coasting down an incline and entering a loop 7.30 m in diameter. For safety considerations, the roller coaster's speed at the top of the loop must be such that the force of the seat on a rider is equal in magnitude to the rider's weight. From what height above the bottom of the loop must the roller coaster descend to satisfy this requirement?
