At a speed of 90 km / h, the radius of the turning safety arc is at least 220 m. Find the coefficient of friction.

V = 90 km / h = 25 m / s.

R = 220 m.

g = 9.8 m / s2.

μ -?

In order for the motorcyclist not to fly off the road when turning, the friction force Ffr must be equal to the centripetal force.

Let’s write 2 Newton’s law in vector form: m * a = m * g + N + Ftr.

OH: m * a = Ftr.

OU: – m * g + N = 0.

F = Ftr.

N = m * g.

The friction force Ffr is determined by the formula: Ffr = μ * N = μ * m * g.

m * a = μ * m * g.

a = μ * g.

The centripetal acceleration a is expressed by the formula: a = V2 / R.

V2 / R = μ * g.

μ = V2 / R * g.

μ = (25 m / s) 2/220 m * 9.8 m / s2 = 0.29.

Answer: the coefficient of friction should be μ = 0.29.
