Question
A mini bus weighing 30 kN goes around a plane curve of 70 m radius. The distance between
inner and outer wheel is 1.5 m and the center of gravity is 1 m above the road level. Take
coefficient of friction µ = 0.4.
Evaluate the following:
a) The limiting speed of the mini bus on this curve.
b) The normal reactions developed at the inner and outer wheels if the mini bus
negotiates the curve with a speed of 50 km/h.
