Question

dius of curvature r , in feet. A highway crew measures the radius of curvature at an exit ramp on a highway as 370 feet. What is the maximum safe speed? FThe formula v = √ 2.3 r models the maximum safe speed, v , in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radius of curvature r , in feet. A highway crew measures the radius of curvature at an exit ramp on a highway as 370 feet. What is the maximum safe speed? F

Answer 1

Answer:

562 miles per hour.

Explanation:

As given in the question, the formula for the maximum speed on a curved road is

$v=\sqrt{2.3}$ $r$

Given value of $r=370$ feet

So the maximum safe speed will be

$v=\sqrt{2.3} \times 370 = 1.52\times 370 = 562.4$ miles per hour.

Rounding off to the nearest whole number we get the maximum safe speed at the curved road is 562 miles per hour.
