I don't see anywhere in his calculations where he takes into account that the more you lean the larger the tire surface against the ground gets. Motorcycle tires are actually intentionally designed for this nowadays.
- aidenn0 11y agoThe classic coefficient of friction you learn in freshman physics is independent of surface area; the larger the surface area, the lower the pressure, so it evens out. With sticky materials though, this doesn't hold.
- lqdc13 11y agoI thought it was that the highest point of friction can occur anywhere in the contact patch. So the higher the contact area, the higher the probability of having highest friction.
- newman314 11y agoHence, area of contact patch will make a difference.
- aidenn0 11y agoBut TFA did not ever use a single model from physics where it would make a difference.
