A bicycle rider starts his motion from the top of the hill A at an initial velocity (Vo). From that point, the bicycle roll freely (without using pedals) in a the circular path.
A) Calculate the speed of the rider at bottom point B
B) Calculate the reaction force (N) acting on the bike at point B
Comment: Ignore friction and presume the rider is a point mass.
