Determine the maximum velocity at which a car can travel if the banking angle is 15º for the following conditions
1) It is not to slide radially outwards.
2) It is not to roll over.
given:
coefficient of friction as 0.4
r = 60m
width of car is 2m and height from bank to centre of car is 0.5m
Looking at some work i think the equation that i need to use is
V = square root (( tan feta + coefficent of friction/ 1-coefficent of friction tan feta) x r x g)
my attempt at this solution gave me an answer of 22.9m/s so 23m/s
i wanted to check if this was correct and I am confused on why i have been given the length of the car and its distance from bank to centre of car.
