Mr. Muscedere is a professional race car driver. The race track he is about to drive on has a curve that is designed so that the smallest circular curve he can take has a radius of 112m and the biggest circular curve he can take has a radius of 165m. The height of the outer wall of the track is 18m 165m The race is happening after a snow storm, so he is assuming there is no friction. What is the fastest speed he can safely take this corner ?

In the construction of railroads, curvature of the track is measured in the following way. First a 100.0-ft-long chord is measured. Then the curvature is reported as the angle subtended by two radii at the endpoints of the chord. (The angle is measured by determining the angle between two tangents 100.0 ft apart; since each tangent is perpendicular to a radius, the angles are the same.) In modern railroad construction, track curvature is kept below 1.20°. What is the radius of curvature of a “1.20° curve”? answer in ft
