A section of track for a roller coaster consists of two circular arcs AB and CD joined by a straight portion BC. The radius of AB is 27 m
and the radius of CD is 72 m. The car and its occupants, of total mass 263 kg, reach point A with practically no velocity and then drop
freely along the track. Determine the maximum and minimum values of the normal force exerted by the track on the car as the car
travels from A to D. Ignore air resistance and rolling resistance.

M at the edge begins to walk in a straight line relative to the merry-go-round from A to B with speed vo relative
to the merry-go-round. Determine the magnitude of the force acting on the boy in terms of the quantities given.
Collision at an Angle
To apply conservation of linear momentum in an inelastic collision. Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at a speed 2v, while the second was traveling in a southeastern direction at an angle ϕ with respect to the east-west direction and at a speed v. After the collision, the two-car system travels in a northeastern direction at an angle θ with respect to the north-south direction and at a speed v final.
What is the angle θ (with respect to north) made by the velocity vector of the two cars after the collision?
Express your answer in terms of ϕ. Your answer should contain an inverse trigonometric function.
