  1. Block P of mass 2 kg slides down the surface and has a speed 20 m/s at the lowest point, Q where the local radius of curvature is 2 m as shown in the figure. Assuming g = 10 m/s², the normal force (in N) at Q is _______ (correct to two decimal places).

    1. 420 N
    2. 421 N
    3. 422 N
    4. 419 N
Correct Option: A


m = 2 kg, g = 10 m/s²
FBD of mass P at point Q

N = mg +
mv²
= 2 × 10 +
2 × 20 × 20
= 420 N
