The roller coaster in Figure P6.36 starts with a velocity of 15 m/s. One of the riders is a small girl of mass 30 kg. Find her apparent weight when the roller coaster is at locations B and C. At these two locations, the track is circular, with the radii of curvature given in the figure. The heights at points A, B, and C are Assume friction is negligible and ignore the kinetic energy of the wheels.
