Ah, okay. Thanks so much for your help!

Okay, but I am wondering, why is it that the force of gravity does that not factor into the equation?

Sorry, I don't understand? Edit: Nevermind, I think I got it. Is the equation simply: a = v^2/r?

I don't understand. This is how I solved it: m=82 kg v=150 m/s a=7.0g Fa is the 'upward force' Fc = Fa - Fg mv^2/r = ma - mg v^2/r = a - g v^2/(a-g) = r r=v^2/(7g-g) r=v^2/6g r = (150m/s)^2/(6x9.8m^2/s^2) =3.83 x 10^2 m How do I get 330 m without using the force of normal, as is done in the...

So there IS no normal force, meaning that the answer is indeed 3.8 x 10^2 m and not 3.3 x 10^2?

Hi all, Homework Statement My problem is exactly the same as the one here: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=2377784 In the solution that Vykan12 provides (which results in the correct answer according to the textbook), however, there is a normal force included in the...
