A highway curves to the left with radius of
curvature of 36 m and is banked at 25 ◦
so
that cars can take this curve at higher speeds.
Consider a car of mass 1091 kg whose tires
have a static friction coefficient 0.87 against
the pavement.
How fast can the car take this curve without
skidding to the outside of the curve? The
acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s
2
.
Answer in units of m/s.
