Mg = 91*9.8 = 892 N. = Wt. of bike with load = normal force, Fn.
1. Fs = uFn = 0.33*892 = 294 N. = Force of static friction.
A physicist rides his bike around a corner of radius 24 meters at a steady speed of 7.4 m/sec. The combined mass of the physicist and the bike is 91 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the bike and the road is μs = 0.33.
1.)If he is not skidding, what is the magnitude of the force of friction on his bike from the road?
2.)What is the magnitude of the total force between the bike tire and the road?
