The force due to gravity on an object with mass $m$ at a height $h$ above the surface of the earth is\[F-\frac{m g R^{2}}{(R+h)^{2}}\]where $R$ is the radius of the earth and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.(a) Express $F$ as a series in powers of $h / R$.
An engineer wants to design a circular racetrack of radius r such that cars of mass m can go around the track at speed V without the aid of friction or other forces other than the perpendicular contact force from the track surface. Find an expression for the required banking angle θ of the track, measured from the horizontal. Express the answer in terms of m, r, V, and g. Suppose the race cars actually round the track at a speed w>V. What additional radial force Fr is required to keep the cars on the track at this speed? Express the answer in terms of m, r, V, w, and g.
