A 1800 kg car rounds a curve of radius 68 m banked at an angle of 15°. What is the magnitude of the friction force
required for the car to travel at 90 km/h?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer:- 

Given 

Mass of a car (m) = 1800 kg 

Radius (R) = 68 m 

Angel (A) = 15o 

Speed of a car (V) = 90 km/h 

V =[ (90 × 1000)/(60 × 60)] m/s 

V = (90000/3600) m/s 

Speed (V ) = 25 m/s 

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s2 

We know that 

(mV2/r) = F + mg sinA 

F = (mV2/r) - mg sinA 

F = [1800 ×(25)2/68] - 1800 × 9.8 × sin15o 

F = [(1800 × 625)/68] - 1800 × 9.8 × 0.26 

F = (1125000/68) - 4586.4 

F = 16544.117 - 4586.4 

F = 11957. 717 N
