A section of track for a roller coaster consists of two circular arcs AB and CD joined by a straight portion BC. The radius of AB is 27 m and the radius of CD is 72 m. The car and its occupants, of total mass 270-Kg reach point A with practically no velocity and then drop freely along the track. Ignore air resistance and rolling resistance
