The banked turns at Talladega International Super Speedway are designed so a 1500 kg race car can drive around them at 340 km/h without slowing down. The radii of the turns are 350 m. a) If the force of friction is 3.0 x 104N [towards center], at what angle must the corners be at in order to allow this type of race? (Provide FBD)  b) What is the slowest speed a car can travel and still be able to go around a corner without falling to the bottom of the track in km/h? (ignore friction)

Question

The banked turns at Talladega International Super Speedway are designed so a 1500 kg race car can drive
around them at 340 km/h without slowing down. The radii of the turns are 350 m.
a) If the force of friction is 3.0 x 104N [towards center], at what angle must the corners be at in order to
allow this type of race? (Provide FBD) 
b) What is the slowest speed a car can travel and still be able to go around a corner without falling to the
bottom of the track in km/h? (ignore friction)
