Homework Statement
What is the maximum speed with which a 1200 rubber-tired car can take around a banked curve with radius of 80.0 meters an angle of 19.0 degrees? (static friction coefficient is 1.0)
Homework Equations
Fs=mu*F(normal)
F(netxdirection)/m=acceleration
acceleration=velocity2/radius
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried answering this problem several times and I failed at each; although I swear my first answer was correct (31.6 m/s). My professor's answer was 40.1 m/s and I have no idea how he got that.
Please help...
