The centripetal force keeps the car in the circle. This force is directed towards the center of the circle. The upward force on the police officer is f = mg and the centripetal force is represented as follows
[tex]F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]
The net force will be
[tex]\begin{gathered} F_{net}=F_c+mg \\ F_{net}=\sqrt[]{(\frac{mv^2}{r})^2+(mg)^2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
