Problem 27PE
(a) What is the radius of a bobsled turn banked at 75.0° and taken at 30.0 m/s, assuming it is ideally banked?
(b) Calculate the centripetal acceleration.
(c) Does this acceleration seem large to you?
ANSWER:
Solution 27PE :
Step 1 of 4:-
The speed of the vehicle is, ..
The angle of banking is, .
We need to find the radius of the curve.
While moving through the curve, the normal component which is the weight of the vehicle is,
-------------------(1)
And --------------------(2) (the centripetal force).
Here is the bending angle which has to be determined.
a)
