A car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 1.85 m/s2. The car makes it one quarter of the way around the circle before it skids off the track. From these data, determine the coefficient of static friction between the car and track.

    Coefficient of friction = 0.836

    Explanation:

    If v be the speed after one quarter of the circular path

    v² = 2as = 2 x 1.85 x 2πr/4; v²/r = 1.85 x 3.14 = 5.8

    tangential acceleration = 5.8 m/s²

    radial acceleration = v² / r = 5.8

    total acceleration = √2 x 5.8

    m x√2 x 5.8 = m x g xμ

    μ = √2 x 5.8 / 9.8 = 0.836
