Concept explainers
Centripetal acceleration of car and minimum coefficient of static friction between tire and road.
Answer to Problem 16PP
Centripetal acceleration of car is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Velocity of car around the curve,
Radius of the curve,
Formula Used:
Centripetal acceleration is given by;
Here, v is velocity and r is radius.
Calculations:
Substitute values in (1) and solve:
Friction force necessary to round the curve without slipping will be equal to
Therefore,
Acceleration due to gravity on earth is
Substitute values in (2) and solve:
Conclusion:
Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of car is
