1. A car weighing 5000 kg is on a banked curve as shown. The coefficient of friction between the
road and the tire of the car is 0.50. It is rounding the curve of 200 m radius at maximum speed.
Determine the maximum speed and the frictional force acting on the wheels.

2. How large must the coefficient of static friction be between the tires and the road if the car is to
round a level curve at a radius of 85 m at a speed of 95 kph?

3. Determine the constant angular velocity (𝜔) of the vertical shaft of the amusement ride if ∅ =
45°. Neglect the mass of the cables and the size of the passengers. Use: 𝑉 = 𝜔𝑅

4. An ABB bazooka is shot at an angle that can reach the target at the maximum range with a
velocity of 10 m/s. Find the time required for the rocket of bazooka to reach the ground surface,
the maximum height reached by the rocket and the distance traveled by the rocket.
