Question

Please help me with this one question....I'll be indebtedfor the remainder of this physics course. A car mass of 1000 kg rounds a curve on a flatroad of radius 50m at a speed of 15 m/s. a)what is the centripetal force acting on thecar b)what is the min. coefficient of staticfriction between the road and the tires of the car such that thecar does not skid. I have part a. Fr= mv2/r (1000 kg)(15 m/s)/ 50m = 4500 N But how do I figure out the b) part? Please help me with this one question....I'll be indebtedfor the remainder of this physics course.

Explanation / Answer

Here Speed (v) = 15m/s Radius(r) = 50m Then the acceleration due to gravity (g)=9.8m/s2 We know that               mv2/r =smg Then the minimum coefficient of static friction between theroad and tires is                 s = v2/rg now substitute all the above values to get the requiredanswer
