    Engineering a highway curve. If a car goes through a curve too fast, the car tends to slide out of the curve. For a banked curve with friction, a frictional force acts on a fast car to oppose the tendency to slide out of the curve; the force is directed down the bank (in the direction water would drain). Consider a circular curve of radius R = 270 m and bank angle θ, where the coefficient of static friction between...

    You are driving your car along a flat, curved road; the curve in the road is a segment of a circle with radius 50 meters. (We call this a "radius of curvature"). How fast can the car drive around the curve if the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 1.0 (tires on dry pavement)? What if the coefficient of friction is 0.2 (tires on ice)?
