Oh.
F(along radius) = ma
μmg=mv²/r
μg=v²/r
μgr=v²
v²=(0.550)(9.80)(37.9)
v ~= 14.3m/s
A crate of eggs is located in the middle of the flat bed of a pickup truck as the truck negotiates a curve in the flat road. The curve may be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 37.9 m. If the coefficient of static friction between crate and truck is 0.550, how fast can the truck be moving without the crate sliding?
