The cross section of the chute is to be banked in such a way that each package, after being released at A with no velocity, will slide along the centerline of the chute without ever touching its edges. Neglecting friction, (a) express as a function of the elevation y of a given Point P of the centerline the angle φ formed by the normal to the surface of the chute at P and the principal normal of the centerline at that point, (b) determine the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the chute on a 20-lb package as it reaches Point B. Hint: The principal normal to the helix at any Point P is horizontal and directed toward the y axis, and the radius of curvature of the helix is ρ = R[1 – (h/2πR)2].
