c To avoid slipping down the wall, the friction force between the tyres and the wall must exceed the weight. The centripetal force provided by the wall pushing against the tyres will affect the friction according to the equation: Ffriction = 0.6Fcentripetal Using your estimates from a and b, work out how fast they must drive in order to avoid slipping down the wall. [/QB] [ST] Answers 1)a) estimates in range 500 1500 kg b) estimates in range 10 30 m c) e.g. 1000 kg & 20 m gives v = 18.1 m s-1
