+====== Project 6: Part B: Nascar ======
+You are working for a Nascar team and an engineer on the team called Cole Trickle believes that he has come up with an ingenious plan. He thinks that he can drastically reduce the ability of tires to create side friction and still stay on the track (side friction is friction occurring either up or down the track to keep you at a constant vertical position on the road when it is inclined - see diagram). The team boss says this is a ridiculous idea and asks how will the car stay on the road, he turns to you and asks you to develop a computational model that proves whether the car will stay on the track or not. You have started some code and it needs finishing.

+Here is the starter code:

+====== Project 6: Part C: Overlook Hotel ======
+After the success of your model, the team boss has decided to employ your modeling skills to check whether it is safe to go on his winter vacation. He wants to know what speed he would need to be traveling to go in uniform circular motion around a mountain road if he has tires that have a coefficient of friction of .36 and is going around a mountain road of a radius 125 meters and the road is inclined at 22.2 degrees.

+====== Project 6: Part C: Six Flags over East Lansing ======
+In a last ditch effort to attract tourists and avoid yet another scandal, the East Lansing city council has hired Blue Sun to build a large swing carousel, which is meant to be taller than the SkyScreamer at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio. The lead designer, Malcolm Reynolds, has dubbed the ride "Serenity" due to its expected calming effect on riders. Reynolds's design hinges on a dubious science article that suggests a calming experience when people feel an acceleration between 1.5g's and 2g's. Reynolds's design calls for riders to be transported up to a height of 70 meters and swung in a horizontal circle.

+You and your team have been hired by Blue Sun to design and demonstrate the safety of the ride. At present, Reynolds has not decided on how many riders Serenity can carry at a time, that's up to you and your team to decide. Furthermore, Reynolds has asked your team to design the cabling system for the chairs as well. Data on the steel that is to be used in the cabling system is in the figure below. Reynolds is more of an "idea man."
