A curve that has a radius of 90 m is banked at an angle of =10.8∘. If a 1100 kg car navigates the curve at 75 km/h without skidding, what is the minimum coefficient of static friction s between the pavement and the tires?

The minimum coefficient of static friction  between the pavement and the tires is 0.69.

The given parameters;

  • radius of the curve, r = 90 m
  • angle of inclination, θ = 10.8⁰
  • speed of the car, v = 75 km/h = 20.83 m/s
  • mass of the car, m = 1100 kg

The normal force on the car is calculated as follows;

[tex]F_n = mgcos(\theta)[/tex]

The frictional force between the car and the road is calculated as;

[tex]F_k = \mu_k F_n\\\\F_k = \mu_k mgcos(\theta)[/tex]

The net force on the car is calculated as follows;

[tex]mgsin(\theta) + \mu_s mgcos(\theta) = \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\mg(sin\theta \ + \ \mu_s cos\theta)= \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\g(sin\theta \ + \ \mu_s cos\theta)= \frac{v^2}{r}\\\\sin\theta \ + \ \mu_s cos\theta = \frac{v^2}{rg}\\\\\mu_s cos\theta = sin\theta \ + \ \frac{v^2}{rg}\\\\\mu_s = \frac{sin\theta}{cos \theta} + \frac{v^2}{cos (\theta)rg}\\\\\mu_s = tan(\theta) + \frac{v^2}{cos (\theta)rg}\\\\\mu_s = tan(10.8) + \frac{(20.83)^2}{cos(10.8) \times 90 \times 9.8} \\\\\mu_s = 0.19 + 0.5\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\mu_s = 0.69[/tex]

Thus, the minimum coefficient of static friction  between the pavement and the tires is 0.69.
