The radius of a highway curve is 120m, and has an angle of 9.31 from the horizontal. The center of gravity of the car is located 0.80m above the roadway and the distance between the two front wheels is 1.2m. if the car has a total weight of 15KN, a. Determine the normal acceleration (m/s2) and the velocity (in kph) of the car before overturning? Assume that friction is great enough to prevent sliding. b. Find the maximum velocity of the car could move in the curve so that there will be no pressure between the tires and the roadway, kph. c. What is the velocity of the car to prevent sliding up if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.60?
