Question

A yellow Triumph TR8 automobile is turning a flat curve of radius 206 m at 27.0 m/s. What is the minimum value of the static friction coefficient that must exist between the tires and the road if no skidding is to occur?

Explanation / Answer

apply the formual for coefficient of friction u = tan theta = v^2/rg

where v is velocity

r is raidus

g is accleration due to gravity

so

tan theta = 27*27/(206 * 9.8)

tan theta = u = 0.36
