Chapter 6, Problem 41AP
A car rounds a banked curve as discussed in Example 6.4 and shown in Figure 6.5. The radius of curvature of the road is R, the banking angle is θ, and the coefficient of static friction is μs. (a) Determine the range of speeds the car can have without slipping up or down the road. (b) Find the minimum value for μs such that the minimum speed is zero.
