Two cars A and B of equal weight are approaching an intersection of two perpendicular roads, A from the west and B from the south and collide with each other. The initial skid distances of A and B before collision are 30m and 20m, respectively. After collision, the skid distance of A and B are 14m and 36m, respectively. A skids a direction of N 40° W while B skids a direction of N 30° E. If the average skid resistance of the pavement is found to be 0.60, compute the speed of A in kph before he applies the brake

2/108 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 = 85 m, while path B-B uses the width of the road to good advan- tage in increasing the radius of curvature to PB = 200 m. If the drivers limit their speeds in their curves so that the lateral acceleration does not exceed 0.8g, determine the maximum speed for each path.
