You're designing a highway so that the maximum centripetal acceleration on a curve is no more than 1.7 m/s2. What is the minimum curvature radius to accommodate a 52-km/h maximum speed? Give your answer in meters I know the formula involves a= v^2/r and we get r by itself; and then, we are to find minimum curvature radius. My question has to do with a conversion of 52 km to meters, and yes, km=1000 m. Can you help me to conceptualize (52 km/h)^2 to (14.4 m/s)^2 better?

Note that the distance s along the circular path traveled is related to the angle θ swept out through s=θR
