Driving in thick fog on a horizontal road, you spot a tractortrailer truck jackknifed across the road. To avert a collision, you could brake to a stop or swerve in a circular arc, as suggested in Fig. $5.37 .$ Which option offers the greater margin of safety? Assume that there is the same coefficient of static friction in both cases, and that you maintain constant speed if you swerve.
