Chapter 6, Problem 23MCQ

As we saw in the chapter, wings on race cars push them into the track. The increased normal force makes large friction forces possible. At one Formula One racetrack, cars turn around a half-circle with diameter 190 m at 68 m/s. For a 610 kg vehicle, the approximate minimum static friction force to complete this turn is

A. 6000 N

B. 15,000 N

C. 18,000 N

D. 24,000 N

E. 30,000 N
