Explanation:
<u>Frictional Force </u>
When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:
The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as
Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one
For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as
The normal force N is equal to the weight of the car, thus
Equating both forces
Simplifying
Substituting the values
Answer:
0.83 g/cm³
Explanation:
The volume of the alcohol is ...
(33.2 g)/(0.79 g/cm³) ≈ 42.0253 cm³
The density of water is about 1 g/cm³, so the volume of 9 g of it is ...
(9 g)/(1 g/cm³) = 9 cm³
The total volume is ...
42.0253 cm³ +9 cm³ = 51.0253 cm³
The total mass is ...
33.2 g + 9 g = 42.4 g
So, the resulting density is ...
(42.4 g)/(51.0253 cm³) ≈ 0.83 g/cm³
The resulting mixture has a density of about 0.83 g/cm³.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Alcohol dissolves in water, so the total volume will be slightly less than 51.0253 cm³. The attached curve shows the result of mixing ethanol and water.
The weight of a mole of ethanol is about 46 g, of water, about 18.02 g. Then the mole fraction of alcohol is ...
(33.2/46)/(33.2/46 +9/18.02) ≈ 0.59
The volume of the mix is then estimated to be (-1.05 cc/mol)(1.221 mol), or about 1.28 cm³ less than the volume indicated above. That brings the density up to about 0.85 g/cm³.
We're not completely sure of the relevance of this calculation, since many of the applicable parameters are not specified. The point is that <em>the density of the mix will probably be slightly more than the value calculated above</em>. YMMV
