Question 5 A toy boat slides down a frictionless track and around a circular loop as shown in the diagram below. A C B D The boat slid around the vertical circle and at point C its speed was 2.6 ms-1. The mass of the boat is 150 g and the radius of the circular loop is 14 cm. a. Find the magnitude of the weight of the boat. b. Find the magnitude of the centripetal force on the boat as it moves past point C. c. Hence, find the normal force the track applies to the boat as it moves past point C.
