The figure shows two possible paths for negotiating an unbanked turn on a horizontal portion of a race course. Path A-A follows the centerline of the road and has a radius of curvature Pa = 88 m, while path B-B uses the width of the road to good advantage in increasing the radius of curvature to PB = 187 m. If the drivers limit their speeds in their curves so that the lateral acceleration does not exceed 0.86g, determine the maximum speed for each path. A B 187 m 88 m Answers: (va)max i m/s (VB) max = i m/s

At what angle should a highway curve of 610-ft diameter be banked to accommodatecars travelling at 105 mph? The coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is0.55. What is the rated speed of the curve?
4. The rear-wheel-drive pickup truck, with its center of gravity at G, is to negotiate a bump from a standing start in the position shown. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the tires and the pavement are 0.18 and 0.15, respectively. Determine the largest slope angle 0 that can be negotiated, assuming that the drive wheels are (a) spinning; and (b) not spinning. 12 in. 60 in. 40 in.
