1/7/2019 Question 2 [32 pts 16 A vehicle weighing 2 metric tonnes (2,000 kg) travels around a circular curve with a radius of 400m and a maximum coefficient of side friction of 0.1, at 100 km/hr of speed. If the curve is superelevated with a rate e-0.12, will the vehicle (you must show your calculations): 1. Maintaih its traverse position, 2 Slide towards the center of the curve, or 3. Slide away from the center of the curve?

Answer 1
