Problem
Derive an expression for the magnitude of the normal force N acting on a rider of mass m as the rider moves with speed v at a point on a vertical circular track of radius r, where the line from the rider to the circle’s center makes an angle θ from the lowest point of the circle. Express N in terms of m, v, r, g, and θ.
