Chapter 5, Problem 5.49E
A 1125-kg car and a 2250-kg pickup truck approach a curve on a highway that has a radius of 225 m. (a) At what angle should the highway engineer hank this curve so that vehicles traveling at 65.0 mi/h can safely round it regardless of the condition of their tires? Should the heavy truck go slower than the lighter car? (b) As the car and truck round the curve at 65.0 mi/h, find the normal force on each one due to the highway surface.

A banked circular highway curve is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. The radius of the curve is 200 m. Traffic is moving along the highway at 40 km/h on a rainy day.What is the minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road that will allow cars to take the turn without sliding off the road? (Assume the cars do not have negative lift.)
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?
