A high-speed railway car goes around a flat, horizontal circle of radius 480 meter at a constant speed. The magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the force of the car on a 65.0 kilogram passenger are 216 Newton and 637 Newton, correspondingly.

(a) Find the magnitude of the net force (of all the forces) on the passenger?

(b) Compute the speed of the railway car?
