Explanation / Answer

given, banking angle, theta = 76 deg

speed v = 33.65 m/s

a. let the radius of turning be r and the coefficient of kinetic friction = 0

then from force balance

mv^2/r = Nsin(theta)

mg = Ncos(theta) ( where N is the normal reaction force of the ropad on the car)

tan(theta) = v^2/rg

tan(76) = 33.65^2/r*9.81

r = 28.778 m

b. centripital acceleration = v^2/r = 33.65^2/28.778 = 39.34576 m/s/s

c. centripital acceleration = 39.34576*g/9.81 = 4.01078g
