Centripetal force = mass * centripetal acceleration

F(c)=m*v^2/R

640=1500(13.4)^2/R

R=420.84m

The radius of the curve is 421m.

What is centripetal force ?

"A force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and directed towards the centre around which the body is moving is called Centripetal force. When an object travels around a circular path with a constant speed, it experiences an accelerating centripetal force towards the centre."

What is acceleration ?

"Acceleration refers to increasing speed, decreasing speed, or changing direction. To determine the acceleration of an object, you must calculate its change in velocity per unit of time."
