Question:

Two cars travel at constant speeds through a curved portion of highway. If the front ends of both cars cross line CC at the same instant, and each driver minimizes his or her time in the curve, determine the distance δ which the second car has yet to go along its own path to reach line DD at the instant the first car reaches there. The maximum horizontal acceleration for car A is 0.60g and that for car B is 0.76g. Which car crosses line DD first?
