Calculating Friction Force for Car in Circular Motion

AI Thread Summary
To determine if a friction force is needed for a 1000kg car rounding a 65m radius curve at 90km/h on a 14-degree banked road, one must analyze the forces acting on the car. The centripetal force, normal force, gravity, and potential friction must be considered. The provided equations relate these forces, allowing for the calculation of friction. The calculations involve breaking down the forces into components based on the angle of the bank. Ultimately, the analysis will reveal whether friction is required and its direction if needed.

A 1000kg car rounds a curve of radius 65m banked at an angle of 14 degrees. If the car is traveling at 90km/h, will a friction force be required? If so, how much and in what direction?

can anybody show me the steps?
thx very much...

Well basically you are considering the movement of an object on an inclined plane. On the object you will have the centripetal force, the normal force, gravity and some friction...

Basically all is in there, you just need to apply it to this particular situation.

65 cos 14˚ + f sin 14˚ = mg
⇒ 65 cos 14˚ + f sin 14˚ = (1000)(9.8)
65 sin 14˚ - f cos 14˚ = m(v^2)/r
⇒ 65 sin 14˚ - f cos 14˚ = (1000)[(90 x 1000/3600)^2]/65
is this correct??
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
