Question

What is the maximum speed (in units of m/s) with which a car can round a

flat horizontal curve of radius (r=60 m), if the coefficient of static friction between tires and
road is (0.4)?
A) 5
B) 15.5
€) 240
D) 25.1​

Answer 1

B) 15.5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 60m

μs = 0.4

using the formula max V = √r*g*μs (flat roadway)

v = sqrt(60 * 10 * 0.4)

v = 15.5 m/s
