The radius of curvature of a highway exit is r = 93.5 m. The surface of the exit road is horizontal, not banked. (See figure.)
If the coefficient of static friction between the tires of the car and the surface of the road is μ[tex]_{s}[/tex] = 0.402, then what is the maximum speed at which the car can safely exit the highway without sliding?

Sagot :

Static friction keeps the car from skidding off the road and points toward the center of the curve. By Newton's second law, the car experiences

• net vertical force

F [normal] - F [weight] = 0

• net horizontal force

F [friction] = ma = mv²/r

where v is the tangential speed of the car.

It follows that

F [normal] = F [weight] = mg

and when static friction is maximized at the car's maximum speed,

F [friction] = µ F[normal] = 0.402 mg

Solve for v :

0.402 mg = mv²/r   ⇒   v = √(0.402 g (93.5 m)) ≈ 19.2 m/s
