A highway is designed for traffic moving at 65 mph. Along a certain portion of the highway, the radius of a curve is 900 ft. The curved is banked, as shown below so that no friction is required to keep cars on the road. Determine, a. The required banking (0) of the road so that no friction is required. b. The minimum coefficient of friction between the tires and the road that would keep traffic from skidding at this speed if the curve is not banked.

People with mobility impairments can gain great health and social benefits from participating in different recreational activities. You are tasked with designing an adaptive spring-powered shuffleboard attachment that can be utilized by people who use wheelchairs. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 15 ounce puck A and the wooden surface is 0.3, the maximum spring displacement you desire is 6 inches, and that you want the puck to travel at least 30 ft/s, determine (a) the spring constant k, (b) how far the athlete should pull back the spring to make the puck come to rest after 34 ft.
15 kg boxes are being transported around a curve via a conveyor belt as shown to the right. Assuming the curve has a radius of 3 meters and the boxes are traveling at a constant speed of 1 meter per second, what is the minimum required coefficient of friction needed to ensure the boxes don’t slip as they travel around the curve?
A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 60 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 20 mi/h. An antiskid braking system limits the braking force to a value at which the wheels of the truck are just about to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the road and the wheels is 0.60, determine the shortest time needed for the truck to slow down.
Baggage on the floor of the baggage car of a high-speed train is not prevented from moving other than by friction. The train is traveling down a 5-percent grade when it decreases its speed at a constant rate from 120 mi/h to 60 mi/h in a time interval of 12 s. Determine the smallest allowable value of the coefficient of static friction between a trunk and the floor of the baggage car if the trunk is not to slide.
In the braking test of a sports car its velocity is reduced from 70 mi/h to zero in a distance of 170 ft with slipping impending. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction is 80 percent of the coefficient of static friction, determine (a) the coefficient of static friction, (b) the stopping distance for the same initial velocity if the car skids. Ignore air resistance and rolling resistance.
Assume that b=0.22m and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the rope and the inclined surface is μk=0.47. Let y (in metres) be the distance travelled by the rope after it has been released from rest.
NEED WITHIN 1HR PLEASE, THANKS 2. A truck is traveling on a level road at a speed of 90 km/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 30 km/h. An antiskid braking system limits the braking force to a value at which the wheels of the truck are just about to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the road and the wheels is 0.65, determine the shortest time needed for the truck to slow down.
Blocks A and B have masses mA, and mB , respectively. Neglecting friction between all surfaces, draw the FBD and KD for each mass.
Quick and correct solution. If block A is moving downward at 6 ft/s while block C is moving down at 18 ft/s, determine the speed of block B.
A child on a sled starts from rest at the top of a 15° slope. If the trip to the bottom takes 15.3 s how long is the slope? Assume that frictional forces may be neglected.
The carnival ride from Prob 12.51 is modified so that the 80-kg riders can move up and down the inclined wall as the speed of the ride increases. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the platform is 0.2, determine the range of values of the constant speed v0 for which the platform will remain at h = 1.5 m.Reference to Problem 12.51:
A car of mass 700 kg travels round a horizontal curve of 60 m radius. The centre of gravity of the car is 1.25 m above the ground and the distance between the wheels is 1.7 m. If the limiting coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.6 determine, with reason, whether the vehicle will skid or overturn when rounding the bend at speed. Hence state the maximum permissible speed to navigate the curve safely.
