Chapter 1, Problem 1.48P
Review. A highway curve forms a section of a circle. A car goes around the curve as shown in the helicopter view of Figure P1.48. Its dashboard compass shows that the car is initially heading due east. After it travels d = 840 m. it is heading θ = 3.5.0 south of east. Kind the radius of curvature of its path. Suggestion: You may find it useful to learn a geometric theorem staled in Appendix B.3.
