Homework Statement
A curve of radius 78 m is banked for a design speed
of If the coefficient of static friction is 0.30 (wet
pavement), at what range of speeds can a car safely make
the curve?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I calculated theta being 36.1... (85/3.6)^2/78=gTan(theta)
Now, I'm wondering how to calculate the range of acceptable velocitys.. could someone explain it to me.
I think for max velocity the centripetal force = Sliding force + Frictional force = 104kph correct?
Can explain how I need to think for minimum velocity?
