Question
Good day to you
Just curious of how it obtained the 77km/h in the solutions of the essential university physics volume one 4th edition by richard wolfson, not sure where it came from
The question: A car moving at 90km/h negotiates a 110m radius banked turn designed for 60km/h what is the minimum co-efficient of friction needed for the car to stay on the road?
Thanks in advance

Explanation of Solution
Write the equation for the maximum speed the car can have to stay
on the road.
v = VHsgr
Here, v is the maximum speed the car can have to stay on the road,
H, is the coefficient of static friction, g is the acceleration due to
gravity and ris the radius of the banked turn.
Rewrite the above equation for u, .
= Hsgr
gr
Conclusion:
The value of g is 9.80 m/s² .
It is given that the speed of the car is 77 km/h.
Convert the speed 77 km/h into units of m/s.
77 km/h = 77 km/h (1000 m
I km
60x60 s
= 21.39 m/s
Substitute 21.39 m/s for v , 9.80 m/s² for g and 95 m for rin equation
(I) to find µ, .
(21.39 m/s)
(9.80 m/s*)(95 m)
= 0.49
Therefore, the minimum coefficient of friction needed if the car is
to stay on the road is 0.49.
