Calculate the angle a person needs to lean from the vertical when 1. walking a 14 m (radius) circular track at 22 mins per mile, and Enter to 2 significant figures Angle with respect to the vertical = = 0.85 ! No, that's not the correct answer. O 2. running at 4 min per mile. Enter to 2 significant figures Angle with respect to the vertical = 6.8 Use 1 mile = 1609.4 m Sense-making: Do your results for the leaning angle during walking agree with your observations about people walking on circular tracks? O
