<u>Answer</u>:
The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 1.987
<u>Explanation</u>:
<u>Given</u>:
Radius of the track, r = 516 m
Tangential Acceleration = 3.89 m/s^2
Speed,v = 32.8 m/s
<u>To Find:</u>
The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road = ?
<u>Solution</u>:
The radial Acceleration is given by,
Now the total acceleration is
=>
=>
=>
=>
The frictional force on the car will be f = ma------------(1)
And the force due to gravity is W = mg--------------------(2)
Now the coefficient of static friction is
From (1) and (2)
Substituting the values, we get
