A loop-de-loop roller coaster has a radius of \( 30 \) \( \text{m} \). Determine the apparent weight a \( 500 \) \( \text{N} \) person will feel at the bottom of the loop while traveling at a speed of \( 25 \) \( \text{m/s} \) and at the top of the loop while traveling at a speed of \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \).

Two workers are holding a thin plate with length \(5 \, \text{m}\) and height \(2 \, \text{m}\) at rest by supporting the plate in the bottom corners. The workers are standing at rest on a slope of \(10^\circ\). Treat these supporting forces as vertical normal forces and calculate their magnitudes and state if both workers are sharing “the job” fairly.

A roller coaster ride at an amusement park lifts a car of mass \( 700 \, \text{kg} \) to point \( A \) at a height of \( 90 \, \text{m} \) above the lowest point on the track, as shown above. The car starts from rest at \( A \), rolls with negligible friction down the incline and follows the track around a loop of radius \( 20 \, \text{m} \). Point \( B \), the highest point on the loop, is at a height of \( 50 \, \text{m} \) above the lowest point on the track.
