To solve the problem of finding the maximum speed at which a motorcycle can pass over a bridge in the form of an arc of a circle without leaving the ground at the highest point, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Forces at the Highest Point:** At the highest point of the arc, the forces acting on the motorcycle are: - The gravitational force (weight) acting downwards, which is \( mg \). - The normal force \( N \) acting upwards. ...
