Driving on a banked roadway 2007-02-05
From William:
A race track is shaped like an inverted cone. Race cars drive around this track in a horizontal path. If a drivers speed is 34 m/s, at what distance from the tip of the cone should he drive his car if there is no friction?

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE!

Sincerely,
William Bush
