Homework Statement
A crate of eggs is located in the middle of the flatbed of a pickup truck. The truck is negotiating a curve in the road that may be considered as an arc of a circle of
radius 35 m. If the coefficient of static friction between the flatbed and the crate is 0.66, with what maximum speed can the truck negotiate the curve without the crate sliding out during cornering?
Homework Equations
Ffr=[tex]\mu[/tex]s Fn = [tex]\mu[/tex]s mg
The Attempt at a Solution
I started by finding the v by:
= [tex]\sqrt{}rg[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{}35m * 9.80 m/s2[/tex]
= 18.52 m/s
After this, I have no idea how to use the static coefficient in order to find the maximum speed. Any clues?
