Applied Mechanics and Graphic Statics
A car goes round a curve of radius 100 m at 25 m/sec. The angle to the horizontal at which the road must be banked to prevent sideways friction on the car wheels is tan"1 x, where x is (Assume g = 10 m/sec²)
The magnitude of the kinetic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces. The ratio being slightly less than that in the case of limiting friction
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which a body is moving
For moderate speeds the force of friction remains constant but decreases slightly with the increase of speed
