A sport car moves around a banked curve at just the right constant speed v so that no friction is needed to make turn. During the turn, the driver (mass m) feels as though she weighs x times her actual weight. Find the magnitude of the net force on the driver during the turn in terms of m,g and x. Fnet? b) Find the radius of the turn.
