a) The coefficient of friction, µ
FR=FC=mv2/r = µR=µmg
Therefore v2/r =µg
µ = 202/100*10 =0.4
b) The angle at which the road should be banked to enable the motorist negotiate the corner at a critical
speed of 20m/s.
tanO= v2/rg =0.4
O=tan-10.4 =21.80

(Solved)
An aluminium tray of mass 400g containing 300g of water is placed in a refrigerator. After 80 minutes, the
tray is removed and it is found that 60g of water remains unfrozen at 0^oC. If the initial temperature of the tray and its contents was 20^oC, determine the average amount of heat removed per minute by the refrigerator. Take s.h.c of aluminium = 900JKg-1K-1, s.h.c of water = 4200JKg-1K-1, s.l.h. of fusion of ice = 3.4*25JKg
