Lets write the data down. That will help us solve the problem later:

R = 36 m

θ = 18º

m = 1492 kg

μ = 0.67

g = 9.8 m/s²

Lets draw all the forces that act on the car:

In order to the car won't skidding to the outside of the curve we must have the centripetal force equals the friction force:


F_(cp)=f_a


(m.v^(2))/(R)=\mu.F_N
