Answer

$(a)\space7524\space N$ $(b)\space 15413\space N$

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. (a) Let's apply the equation $V=u+at$ to the car $\rightarrow V=u+at$ Now plug the known values into this equation. $312\space m/s= 0+\space a\times 9.48\space s$ $3.3\space m/s^{2}= a$ Let's apply the equation $F=ma$ to the car $\rightarrow F=ma$ Now plug the known values into this equation. $F=2280\space kg\times 3.3\space m/s^{2}=7524\space N$ (b) We know that centripetal acceleration of the car at the bend can be written as $a_{1}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}=\frac{(31.2\space m/s^{2})^{2}}{166\space m}= 5.9\space m/s^{2}$ So, centripetal force $F_{1}=ma_{1}$ $F_{1}=2280\space kg\times5.9\space m/s^{2}$ $F_{1}=13452\space N$ Net force$= \sqrt {F^{2}+F_{1}^{2}}= \sqrt {(752N)^{2}+(13452N)^{2}}$ Net force $=15413\space N$
