Question
A highway exit ramp was constructed at an angle of 12 degrees and has a radius of 54m. What speed limit should be posted to ensure that drivers can maneuver the curve safely without relying on friction? Include a force diagram. Why is it possible (although not recommended!) to make it through a curve driving faster than the proposed speed limit?

- Mr. M is a professional race car driver. The race track he is about to drive on has a curve that is designed so that the smallest circular curve he can take has a radius of 112m and the biggest circular curve he can take has a radius of 165m. The height of the outer wall of the track is 18m. The race is happening after a snow storm, so he is assuming there is no friction.
