A train enters a curved horizontal section of track at a speed of 100 km/h and slows down with constant deceleration to 50 km/h in 12 seconds. An accelerometer mounted inside the train records a horizontal acceleration of 2 m/s2 when the train is 6 seconds into the curve. Calculate the radius of curvature ρ of the track for this instant.
