Two horizontal curves on a bobsled run are banked at the same angle, but one has twice the radius of the other. The safe speed (no friction needed to stay on the run) for the smaller radius curve is v. What is the safe speed on the larger radius curve? A) v/2
B) v /√ 2
C) 2v
D) v√2

I shall answer it here because is coded horribly.

First, FN = mg/cos
On a banked curve, FNx is the only acceleration force
FNx = mv^2/r
FNx = FNsin
mg/cos * sin = mv^2/r
cancel out the mass (m) and sin*1/cos is tan
gtan = v^2/r
rgtan = v^2
√(rgtan) = v (this is the velocity for the smaller radius.)
call larger radius velocity X

for larger radius, it becomes 2r, so √(2rgtan) = X

understand you can do √xy = √x * √y

√(rgtan) * √2 = X (√(rgtan) = v)
v * √2 = X (where X is velocity with larger radius)

I hate how all of these newer answers do not break down the mechanics, understand using harder to grasp mechanics only makes it harder for the audience. You aren't cool for sounding smarter.

Two horizontal plates with infinite length and width are separated by a distance h in the z direction. the bottom plate is moving at a velocity u. the incompressible fluid trapped between the plates is moving in the positive x-direction with the bottom plate. align gravity with positive z. assume that the flow is fully-developed and laminar. if the systems operates at steady state and the pressure gradient in x-direction can be ignored, do the following: 1. sketch your system 2. identify the coordinate system to be used. 3. show your coordinates and origin point on the sketch. list all your assumptions. 5. apply the continuity equation to your system. nts of navier stokes equations of choice to your system 7. solve the resulting differential equation to obtain the velocity profile within the system make sure to list your boundary conditions. check units of velocity 8. describe the velocity profile you obtain using engineering terminology. sketch that on the same sketch you provided in (1). 9. obtain the equation that describes the volumetric flow rate in the system. check the units.
