Question

A truck is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 13m/s centrepetal force on the truck is 3,300 N and the mass of the truck is 1,600

Answer 1

If what you are looking for is the radius of the curve, you can solve it by using this formula:

$r = \frac{ mv^{2} }{F}$

where: r = radius (m)
           m = mass (kg)
           v = velocity (m/s)
           F = Force (N or kg.m/s^2)

Your given is:
m = 1,600 kg
v = 13 m/s
F = 3,300 N

So we input it into your formula:

$r = \frac{ mv^{2} }{F}$
$r = \frac{ (1,600kg)(13m/s)^{2} }{3,300N}$
$r = \frac{ (1,600kg)(169) }{3,300N}$
$r = \frac{ 270,400kg.\frac{ m^{2} }{ s^{2}} }{3,300N}$
$r = 81.939m or 81.94m$

Answer 2

The Correct answer to this question for Penn Foster Students is: 81.94m
