Mathematics · Ratio and Proportion
The force (in pound-force) needed to keep a car from skidding on a curve varies directly with the weight of the car (in pounds) and the square of its speed (in miles per hour [mph]) and inversely with the radius (in feet) of the curve. Suppose 6125 pound-force is required to keep a 2750 pound car, travelling at a speed of 35 mph, from skidding on a curve of radius 550 feet. How much pound-force is then required to keep a 3600 pound car, travelling at a speed of 50 mph, from skidding on a curve of radius 750 feet?
