Question

The radius of a highway curve is 120 m, and has an angle of 9.31° from the horizontal. The center of gravity of the car is located 0.80 m above the roadway and the distance between the two front wheels is 1.2 m. If the car has a total weight of 15 KN.

a. Determine the normal acceleration and the velocity (in kph) of the car before overturning.

b. Find the maximum velocity of the car could move along the curve so that there will be no outstanding pressure between the tires and the roadway.

c. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.60, what is the maximum velocity (in kph) of the car without sliding.
