Question

A roller coaster goes through a vertical loop. When are the forces on the riders: the smallest and the greatest?

Answer 1

Well, think about it. If you were at the top of a rollercoaster, what do you think the force on the rider would be? You would experience a small normal force, almost as if you were weightless. At the bottom, it takes a lot more force for a rollercoaster to go up so the normal force is much greater on the riders.
