Question
A 1000 kg car travels around a circular track at a constant speed. Draw the free-body diagram for the car as viewed from the front of the car. The radius of the path is 200 m, the car is traveling at 25 m/s, and friction is the force keeping the car moving in a circular path. Solve for the coefficient of friction between the wheels and the road.
