    Answer: a) 7.1 * 10^3 N; b) - 880 N directed out of the curve.

    Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Newton laws, then we have the following:

    Pcos 15°-N=0

    Psin15°-f = m*ac

    from the first we obtain N, the normal force

    N=750Kg*9.8 * cos (15°) = 7.1 * 10^3 N

    Then to calculate the frictional force (f) we can use the second equation

    f=P sin (15°) - m*ac where ac is the centripetal acceletarion which is equal to v^2/r

    f = 750 * 9.8 sin (15°) - 750 * (85*1000/3600) ^2/150 = - 880 N
