A straight trail with a uniform inclination of 16° leads from a lodge at an elevation of 600 feet to a mountain lake at an elevation of 7,000 feet. What is the length of the
trail (to the nearest foot)?
O A. 6,658 ft
OB. 25,396 ft
OC. 7,282 ft
OD. 23,219 ft

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
