Chapter 8, Problem 30EAP
Three cars are driving at 25 m/s along the road shown in Figure Ex8.30. Car B is at the bottom of a hill and car C is at the top. Both hills have a 200 m radius of curvature. Suppose each car suddenly brakes hard and starts to skid. What is the tangential acceleration (i.e., the acceleration parallel to the road) of each car? Assume µk= 1.0.
