Chapter 5, Problem 54GP
* Loop-the-loop You have to design a loop-the-loop for a new amusement park so that when each car passes the top of the loop inverted (upside-down), each seat exerts a force against a passenger's bottom that has a magnitude equal to 15 times the gravitational force that Earth exerts on the passenger. Choose some reasonable physical quantities so these conditions are met. Show that the loop-the-loop will work equally well for passengers of any mass.

- One great form of athletic competition for bulldogs, American pit bull terriers, huskies, and many other breeds is the weight pull. Many of these dogs can pull weights two orders of magnitude greater than their own weight! Railsplitter, an American pit bull terrier, can pull a sled that has a total weight of 2215 lb along a horizontal surface. Suppose he pulls with a horizontal force of 3.50 103 N while friction is also working against the sled. If the magnitude of the net acceleration of the sled is 0.152 m/s2, find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction, k, between the sled and the pulling surface.
