curve 56 m in radius. What would be the minimum
coefficient of static friction between tires and road
that would be needed for the car to round the curve
without skidding?
Given:

Motion and Forces on a
Banked Curve


These problems deal with an object (a car, for example)
navigating a circular curve at constant speed. The radius of the
curve is fixed at 10 m, but the speed and mass of the object,
the angle at which the curve is banked, the coefficient of static
friction, and the gravitational field strength can all be varied.
Two views of the object are shown: i) overhead showing the
circular path with acceleration and velocity vectors, ii) ground
level showing the forces acting on the object. As the values of
input parameters are changed, the vectors change in
response. A "fric-o-meter" gauges the ratio of the actual static
friction to the maximum available static friction. This allows the
user to determine whether the object will skid off the curve or
slide down to the center

12.0 m swings make an angle of 25.0º with the vertical as they
move in a circle. What is the tension in the rope of a swing
carrying a 50.0 kg person?
Given:
V = 15.0 m/s
Ө = 25.0º
M = 50.0 kg
R = 12.0 m
T sinӨ = m V²/R
T = m V²
r sinӨ
