Question

An amusement park ride consists of a car moving in a vertical circle on the end of a rigid boom of negligible mass. The combined weight of the car and riders is 6.00 kN, and the radius of the circle is 15.0 m. At the top of the circle, (a) what is the force FB on the car from the boom (using the minus sign for downward direction) if the car's speed is v?

Answer 1

Incomplete question as the car's  speed is missing.I have assumed car's  speed as 6.0m/s.The complete question is here

At the top of the circle, (a) what is the force FB on the car from the boom (using the minus sign for downward direction) if the car's speed is v 6.0m/s

Answer:

$F_{B}=-5755N$

Explanation:

Set up force equation

∑F=ma

∑F=W+FB

$\frac{mv^{2} }{R}=W+F_{B}\\ F_{B}=\frac{mv^{2} }{R}-W\\F_{B}=\frac{(W/g)v^{2} }{R}-W\\F_{B}=\frac{(6000N/9.8m/s^{2} )(6m/s)^{2} }{(15m)}-6000N\\F_{B}=-5755N$

The minus sign for downward direction
