Question: Q 6 ) . A loaded van has a total mass of 2 . 5 tonne and a wheel - base width of 1 .

Q6). A loaded van has a total mass of 2.5 tonne and a wheel-base width of 1.9 m , and its centre of mass is 1.65 m above the ground. Assuming a coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the road is 0.65, calculate the maximum limit of safe speed on a level road that has a horizontal radius of curvature of 125 m . What is likely to occur if the vehicle enters the curve at \(100\mathrm{~km}/\mathrm{h}\)?
Q7). A circular plate rotates on a vertical spindle through its centre, making 10 revolutions per second. It supports two masses of 7 kg and 14 kg at a radii of 0.9 m and 0.7 m respectively. The angle between the masses is 90 degrees. Determine the resultant out-of-balance centrifugal force acting on the spindle due to the revolving masses.
Q8). If a car takes a banked curve at less than the ideal speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the curve (a real problem on icy mountain roads).
(a) Calculate the ideal speed to take a 120 m radius curve banked at \(12.0^{\circ}\)
(b) What is the minimum coefficient of friction needed for a frightened driver to take the same curve at \(22.0\mathrm{~km}/\mathrm{h}\)?
Note: In an "ideally banked curve," the angle \(\theta \) is such that you can negotiate the curve at a certain speed without the aid of friction between the tires and the road
