Question:
A curve in a speed track has a radius of 200 m and a rated speed of 180 km/h. (See Sample Prob. 12.6 for the definition of rated speed.) Knowing that a racing car starts skidding on the curve when traveling at a speed of 320 km/h, determine
(a) The banking angle θ,
(b) The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the track under the prevailing conditions,
(c) The minimum speed at which the same car could negotiate that curve.
