As an inquisitive physics student (whos instructor will completely disavow any part of this) you decide to
ride a roller coaster while sitting on a bathroom scale (Really... dont try this. .. you or someone else could
be fatally injured. .. I am deadly serious!). The bottom of the seat is parallel to the tracks. When the car
is horizontal, you lift your feet and find that the scale reads 100 kg. At another point in the ride, the car
is careening down the track with negligible friction at a slope of 30 below the horizontal. What does the
scale read at that point when you lift your feet?
