Question
A car with a mass of 1400 kg is turning on a banked curve with a radius of 75 meters and an angle of 17°.
(a) Determine the ideal speed in which the car should take the turn. (Points: 5)
(b) If we assume 𝜇𝑠 between the tires and the road is 0.1, what is the MINIMUM speed the driver can take the turn? Draw a free-body diagram for full credit! (Points: 10)
