Biologists have studied the running ability of the northernquoll, a marsupial indigenous to Australia. In one set ofexperiments, they studied the maximum speed that quolls could runaround a curved path without slipping. One quoll was running at 2.8m/s around a curve with a radius of 1.6 mm when it started toslip.
What was the coefficient of static friction between the quoll'sfeet and the ground in this trial?
