I did not get to answer the question that you had posted but after working it out, the centripetal force acting on the truck is approximately 8550 N. 

Explanation on the same is, the centripetal force (F) acting on the truck can be calculated using the formula:
F = (m * ) / r
where m is the mass of the object (in this case, the truck), v is the velocity of the object, and r is the radius of the curve.
Plugging in the given values, we get:
F = (1500 kg * 15 m/) / 17.5 m
F = (1500 kg * 15 m/) / 17.5 m
F = 8550 N.
