a carton of eggs sits on the horizontal seat of a car as the car rounds a 26 meter radius bend at 16.5m/s. what is the minimum coefficient of friction that must exist between the carton and the seat if the eggs are not to slip?

1 answer

Let that coefficient of static friction be Us.

Let the mass of the dozen eggs be M.

To barely avid slipping,
M V^2/R = M*g*Us

Us = V^2/(R*g) = 1.07
