2. A 1500 kg car is driving on a concrete highway, on a sunny day. The road makes a sharp turn, with a radius of curvature of 50. meters. What is the maximum speed at which the car can make the turn without sliding sideways?? The centripetal force is provided by the friction force that the concrete road exerts on the rubber tires. Calculate the friction force, then plug that into F=mv/r, as F.

Expert Solution
Step 1 If there is no provision of super elevation on road

If there is no super elevation then centripetal force will be the function of friction only

Friction which is generally consider to be generated on b/w tyre and road in lateral direction is 0.15

Friction force  Fc=friction coefficient ×Normal forceWhere Normal force =mg=1500×9.81      Friction force  Fc=0.15×1500×9.81=2207.25 N Now  Fc=mv2r;        Where  Radius  r=50 m and mass m=1500 kg           2207.25=1500×v250                      v=30.87 Kmph (velocity of without sliding )
