A bicyclist tilts their bicycle in order to make a circular turn of radius r = 49 m while traveling at a speed v = 10.8 m/s. The total force exerted on the bicycle wheels by the ground (which is a combination of normal force and static friction - hopefully less than maximum!) just so happens to be directed along the same angle as the bicycle. The total mass of the bicyclist and their bicycle is m = 90.8 kg.
Definition Definition Force that opposes motion when the surface of one item rubs against the surface of another. The unit of force of friction is same as the unit of force.
