A civil engineer is in charge of building a section of the interstate that includes a turn whose radius is 80m. What will be the maximum allowable speed on this section of the interstate? Express your answer in terms of m/s and mi/hr. (Hint: At equilibrium, the centripetal force is balanced by a frictional force which stops the car from slipping. The coefficient of static friction between rubber and concrete: µs = 1.0 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber and concrete: µk = 0.8).

009 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points A civil engineer is asked to design a curved section of roadway that meets the following conditions: With ice on the road, when the coefficient of static friction between the road and rubber is 0.24, a car at rest must not slide into the ditch and a car traveling less than 70 km/h must not skid to the outside of the curve. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2. At what angle should...

A civil engineer wishes to redesign the curved roadway in the figure in such a way that a car will not have to rely on friction to round the curve without skidding. In other words, a car moving at the designated speed can negotiate the curve even when the road is covered with ice. Such a ramp is usually banked, which means that the roadway is tilted toward the inside of the curve. Suppose the designated speed for the road...
