Description: A roller coaster car is essentially at rest at the crest of hill $A$. Determine the required height $h$ so that the car reaches a speed of $100\text{ km/h}$ at the bottom of hill $B$. Also determine the minimum radius of curvature $\rho$ for the track at $B$ so that passengers do not experience a normal force greater than $4mg$. Neglect the size of the car and passengers.
