Question
A car is travelling around a banked curve at a constant speed of 84.0 km/h. If the radius of curvature of the path is 67.0 m, and there is no friction between the car and the surface, at what angle (in degrees) should the bank be set at, relative to the horizontal, in order for the car not to slip in either direction?

v = 84.0 * 1000m/km/3600 s/h = 84/3.6 m/s
Ac = v^2/R
tan A = (v^2/R)/g
Ac = v^2/R
tan A = (v^2/R)/g
