A 3.0 x 10^3 kg truck travels through a curve with a radius of 150 m at 113 km/hr. If the curve is flat, what is the coefficient of friction required to keep the vehicle from skidding off the road? In a real-world situation, would the truck remain on the road?

Answer:

from what i could figure out. A 6600 pound truck traveling at 113 km/ hr will need to have 58.4070965 psi. on each wheel. if going going on a curve that have an incline of atleast 2.℅ , which is close to the average curvature of a road. But at that speed and flat angle of the road. and distance . Once the truck is in itsvturn the truck will loose 1/4 of the tires psi, adding the weight , ofvtge truck and the ineshia of the tryck as it leans to one side . The truck will not be able to with stand the force on its tires and slide to the side and roll the tryck as it slide off the road dropping atleast 1-2 inch drop off the pavement.
