Question:

An enthusiast magazine publishes data from its road tests on the lateral acceleration capability of cars. The measurements are made using a 150 -ft-diameter skid pad. Assume the vehicle path deviates from the circle by \(\pm 2 \mathrm{ft}\) and that the vehicle speed is read from a fifthwheel speed-measuring system to \(\pm 0.5 \mathrm{mph}\). Estimate the experimental uncertainty in a reported lateral acceleration of \(0.7 \mathrm{~g}\). How would you improve the experimental procedure to reduce the uncertainty?
