Consider again the problem of a tipping car in Example 8.6. This time, instead of applying a force F to the car, assume the car is traveling around a curve on a level road. Let the radius of curvature of the turn be r and assume the car’s speed v is just barely fast enough to make the car’s inside wheels lift off the ground. (a) Find v. Express your answer in terms of r and the variables w, d, and h from Figure 8.26. (b) Use realistic values to get a numerical estimate for v for r = 80 m. Hint: Use the car’s center of mass as your pivot point.
