A car starts from rest and accelerates around a flat curve of radius R = 36 m. The tangential component of the car’s ac­celeration remains constant at at = 3.3 m/s2, while the centrip­etal acceleration increases to keep the car on the curve as long as possible. The coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is μ = 0.95. What distance does the car travel around the curve before it begins to skid? (Be sure to include both the tangential and centripetal components of the acceleration.)
