A car travels along a banked road with a
constant speed, the mass of the car is m~N(700,52) kg, and the coefficient of static
friction μs
=0.48. What is the probability that the
car will slip?
Solution
Since m follows normal distributions with m~N(700,52)
kg and μs
=0.48, we have
Thus, the distribution of friction force at A is: .
We construct function Y as
Thus
The probability that
the motorcycle might fall is
Ans.
