Here is what I solved before. Please substitute the figures as per your question. Let me know if you want some clarification on it. Please rate 5 stars if I succeeded in helping you.

Driving in your car with a constant speed of v = 11.9 m/s,you encounter a bump in the road that has a circular cross section,as indicated in the figure below.

If the radius of curvature of the bump is r = 34.9 m,calculate the apparent weight of a 60.3 kg person in your car asyou pass over the top of the bump.

speed v = 11.90 m / s

radius r = 34.90 m

mass m = 60.30 kg

Apperent weight = actual weight - upward force

=mg - ( m v ^ 2 / r )

= 590.94 - 244.67

= 345.327 N

m=345.327 /9.8=35.33kg

You are in your car A on the 407 driving at a constant velocity ~vA = (vA, 0, 0) and next to it another car (B) takes the exit ramp on one of Toronto’s huge exchangers to get onto the 404. For consistency we set the two cars to start at (0, 0, 0) at t = 0 and car B turns in the positive y direction. The exchanger can be seen as a quarter circle of radius R. 1....
