 ====== Project 6: Part B: The Overlook Hotel ======
@@ Line 32: / Line 31: @@
 Your team has decided to go on a retreat to the Overlook Hotel in the middle of the Colorado Mountains after the successful design of the Nexus-6 Rollercoaster. As you spiral up into the mountains the path becomes more and more treacherous with the road becoming very icy and banked. You stop at a gas station before you reach the most dangerous part of your trip a 125m radius curve banked at 22.2 degrees. You want to take the curve at a speed of 25 km/h. There are several different types of tires available for purchase at the gas station (frictional coefficient and width). You need to figure out information to help you decide on the type of tire that you should use.

+====== Project 6: Part C: Six Flags over East Lansing Part 2 ======
+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 a "net" 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."
