Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Road Surface using Retardation on Front Wheel Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Road Surface using Retardation on Front Wheel?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

μ = a \cdot \frac{b}{[g] \cdot x \cdot \cos (θ) + a \cdot h}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

μ = 3.0191m/s² \cdot \frac{2.4m}{[g] \cdot 1.3m \cdot \cos (12°) + 3.0191m/s² \cdot 0.0075m}

Next Step Substitute values of Constants

∴

μ = 3.0191m/s² \cdot \frac{2.4m}{9.8066m/s² \cdot 1.3m \cdot \cos (12°) + 3.0191m/s² \cdot 0.0075m}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

μ = 3.0191m/s² \cdot \frac{2.4m}{9.8066m/s² \cdot 1.3m \cdot \cos (0.2094rad) + 3.0191m/s² \cdot 0.0075m}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

μ = 3.0191 \cdot \frac{2.4}{9.8066 \cdot 1.3 \cdot \cos (0.2094) + 3.0191 \cdot 0.0075}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

μ = 0.579999989483687

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

μ = 0.58
