Hey all,
I'm new here and would appreciate some help with this question about banked curves.
A curve with a 120-m radius on a level road is banked at the correct angle for a speed of 20 m/s. If an automobile rounds this curve at 30 m/s, what is the minimum coefficient of static friction neeed between tires and road to prevent skidding?
I wasn't quite sure how to attack this problem, especially since I wasn't given the mass of the object...
Advanced thanks!
