A 895-kg roller coaster starts from the top of a hill and rolls down. It enters a loop for which the radius at the top is 84.5 meters. The track is designed in such a way that 4720 Newtons is the maximum force allowed in the rail.

(a) Determine the MAXIMUM speed at which the 895-kg roller coaster can move through the top of the loop and remain safe.
