A model train with a mass of $5 kg$ is moving along a track at $14 (cm)/s$ . If the curvature of the track changes from a radius of $7 cm$ to $24 cm$ , by how much must the centripetal force applied by the tracks change?

A change of $Delta F=119/120=0.9916666" "$ Newton

Explanation:

Given data: $v=14" "$ cm/second $=0.14" "$ meter/second
$m=5" "$ kilogram
$r_1=7" "$ centimeter $=.07" "$ meter
$r_2=24" "$ centimeter $=0.24" "$ meter

Centripetal Force formula

$F_1=(mv^2)/r_1=(5*(.14)^2)/(.07)=7/5" "$ Newtons

$F_2=(mv^2)/r_2=(5*(.14)^2)/(.24)=49/120" "$ Newtons

$F_1-F_2=Delta F=119/120=0.9916666" "$ Newton

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
