Answer:

The coefficient of friction is 0.56

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the automobile, m = 1400 kg

Speed of the automobile, v = 23 m/s

Radius of the track, r = 95 m

The automobile is moving in a circular track. The centripetal force is given by :

[tex]F_c=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]............(1)

Frictional force is given by :

[tex]F_f=\mu mg[/tex]...................(2)

[tex]\mu[/tex] = coefficient of friction

g = acceleration due to gravity

From equation (1) and (2), we get :

[tex]\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg[/tex]

[tex]\mu=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}[/tex]

[tex]\mu=\dfrac{(23\ m/s)^2}{95\ m\times 9.8\ m/s^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mu=0.56[/tex]

So, the coefficient of friction is 0.56. Hence, this is the required solution.
