The cornering performance of an automobile is evaluated on askid pad, where the maximum speed that a car can maintain around acircular path on a dry, flat surface is measured. Then thecentripetal acceleration, also called the lateral acceleration, iscalculated as a multiple of the free-fallacceleration g. The main factors affecting theperformance are the tire characteristics and the suspension systemof the car. A Dodge Viper GTS can negotiate a skidpad ofradius 61.2 m at 85.5 km/h. Calculate itsmaximum lateral acceleration.
