A roller coaster car crosses the top of a circular loop-the-loop at twice the critical speed. What is the ratio of the normal force to the gravitational force?

Answered by wiki @ 16/11/2020

Critical speed is assumed to be that tangential velocity v where g = v^2/R and g = 9.81 m/sec^2 and R is the radius of rotation. The normal force N = mg - F; and F = mv^2/R = mg when at critical speed, as I defined it. Thus N = mg - mg = 0 at v.
Now, when v = 2v, we have n = mg - m4v^2/R = mg - 4mg so that n/mg = -3 QED. n is the normal force and mg is the gravitational force. The minus sign means the car is going flying unless it is somehow anchored.
