Answer:
F' = 251.2 lb
Explanation:
It is given that,
The force needed to keep a car from skidding on a curve varies jointly as the weight of the car and the square of the car’s speed and inversely as the radius of the curve. So,
W is the weight
v is the speed
r is the radius of curve
W is constant, So
If F = 126 lb, v = 25 mph and r = 400 ft
F' = ?, v' = 45 mph and r' = 650 ft
On solving above equation,
F' = 251.2 lb
So, 251.2 lb of force would keep the same car going 45 mph from skidding on a curve of radius 650 ft. Hence, this is the required solution.
