Question

Transcribed Image Text:A vehicle with a mass of 2.1 x 10³ kg is driving at a speed of 61 km/h around a level roadway with a curvature radius of 61 meters, just staying on the roadway (i.e., driving at the maximum safe speed for this turn and the tire treads).
What is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road? (Hint: Watch your units above.)
Answer: μ = ________ (no units)
