6.) You are working as a delivery person for a dairy store. In the back of your pick-up truck is a crate of eggs. The dairy company has run out of bungee cords, so the crate is not tied down. You have been told to drive carefully because the coefficient static friction between crate and the bed of the truck is 0.6. You are not worried, because you are traveling on a road that appears perfectly straight. Due to your confidence and inattention, your speed has crept upward to 45miles per hour. Suddenly you see a curve ahead with warning sign saying, "danger: unbanked curve with radius of curvature 35m". You are 15m from the beginning of the curve. What can you do to save the eggs: (a) take the curve at 45mi/h. (b) brake to a stop before entering the curve to think about it. (c) slow down to take the curve at a slower speed? Discuss these options and determine if there is a best course of action.

Question
6.) You are working as a delivery person for
a dairy store. In the back of your pick-up
truck is a crate of eggs. The dairy company
has run out of bungee cords, so the crate is
not tied down. You have been told to drive
carefully because the coefficient static
friction between crate and the bed of the
truck is 0.6. You are not worried, because
you are traveling on a road that appears
perfectly straight. Due to your confidence
and inattention, your speed has crept
upward to 45miles per hour. Suddenly you
see a curve ahead with warning sign saying,
"danger: unbanked curve with radius of
curvature 35m". You are 15m from the
beginning of the curve. What can you do to
save the eggs:
(a) take the curve at 45mi/h.
(b) brake to a stop before entering the curve
to think about it.
(c) slow down to take the curve at a slower
speed?
Discuss these options and determine if
there is a best course of action.
