The Jeep follows the road from B to C traveling at a constant speed of 10 m/s while the direction of the Jeep changes from east to south.
-What is the magnitude of the frictional force between the tires and the road as the Jeep negotiates the curve from B to C?
A)9600 N
B)7200 N
C)3600 N
D)1800 N
E)1000 N
