Banked curves are designed so that the radial component of the normal force on the car rounding the curve provides the centripetal force required to execute the uniform circular motion and safely negotiate the curve. A car rounds a banked curve with banking angle And radius of curvature 150m. If the coefficient of static friction between the car's tires and the road is What is the range of speed for which the car can safely negotiate the turn without slipping?

You need to make a sharp turn on a flat road, making aradiusof curvature of 15m. How does the required force of staticfrictionbetween your tires compare if you make the turn at 20 mphvs. 60mpg?
a.) the force of friction needs to be four times as largewhengoing 60 mph
b.) the force of friction need to be twice as large whendoing60 mph.
c.) the force of friction is the same for both speeds sincetheradius of curvature is the same.
d.) the force of friction is the same for both speeds sincethenormal force is the same.
e.) it is hard to tell since no specific data are given.
