When crossing an intersection, a motorcyclist encounters the slight bump or crown caused by the intersecting road. If the crest of the bump has a radius of curvature, ? = 25 meters, determine the maximum constant speed at which he can travel without leaving the surface of the road. Neglect the size of the motorcycle and rider in the calculation. The rider and his motorcycle have a total weight 3.5 kN.

When crossing an intersection, a motorcyclist encounters the slight bump or crown caused by the intersecting road. If the crest of the bump has a radius of curvature, ? = 25 meters, determine the maximum constant speed at which he can travel without leaving the surface of the road. Neglect the size of the motorcycle and rider in the calculation. The rider and his motorcycle have a total weight 3.5 kN. 

When crossing an intersection, a motorcyclist encounters the slight bump or
crown caused by the intersecting road. If the crest of the bump has a radius of
curvature, p = 25 meters, determine the maximum constant speed at which he
can travel without leaving the surface of the road. Neglect the size of the
motorcycle and rider in the calculation. The rider and his motorcycle have a total
weight 3.5 kN. *
