Chapter 05, Problem 22
A 780-kg race car can drive around an unbanked turn at a maximum
speed of 43 m/s without slipping. The turn has a radius of 180 m.
Air flowing over the car's wing exerts a downward-pointing force
(called the downforce) of 11000 N on the car.
(a) What is the coefficient of static friction
between the track and the car's tires? (b) What
would be the maximum speed if no downforce acted on the
car?
