Problem

A 1.2×103 kg1.2\times10^{3}\,\text{kg} car travels at 25 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−125\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1} around a circular curve of radius 50 m50\,\text{m} that is perfectly banked so that no friction is required. What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the car by the road? (a) 2.7×104 N2.7\times10^{4}\,\text{N} (b) 1.2×104 N1.2\times10^{4}\,\text{N} (c) 1.9×104 N1.9\times10^{4}\,\text{N} (d) 1.5×104 N1.5\times10^{4}\,\text{N}
