Problem

A delivery van of mass 2000 kg2000\,\text{kg} travels around a flat circular curve of radius 50 m50\,\text{m}. The van's track width (distance between left and right wheels) is 1.6 m1.6\,\text{m}, and its center of mass is located 1.0 m1.0\,\text{m} above the road surface. If the van travels at a constant speed of 15 m/s15\,\text{m/s}, calculate the magnitude of the normal reaction force acting on the inner pair of wheels. (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2})
