Homework Statement
A bicyclist travels in a circle of radius 25.0m at a constant speed of 9.00 m/s. The bicycle-rider mass is 85.0 kg. Calculate the magnitudes of a) the force of friction on the bicycle from the road and b) the net force on the bicycle from the road.
Homework Equations
F=ma
m(v^2/r)
The Attempt at a Solution
I plugged in the numbers for the force formula and got 275.4 N, I'm assuming that's the net force as its the centripetal force.
Im unsure how to find the force of the friction however. Any suggestions? (On that note, did I confuse the two?
-Thanks in advance
