An automobile of mass m = 1600 kg moves around a flat, circular track of radius R = 130 m at constant speed v = 65 km/hr. a) For what value of the frictional coefficient between the track and the tires will the car just not slide off the track? b) Increasing the speed to 100 km/hr - what needs to be the minimum radius of the curve so that the car just does not slide off the track (assuming the same frictional coefficient) ?
