The rated speed of the highway curve of 200 ft radius is 30 mph. If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.6, what is the maximum speed at which a car can round the curve without skidding?
show solution step by step
show FBD (if possible)
thanks

Thanks for posting the questions. However, can you please show any work you have done for any of these? Thank you.
I have 20 problems here, i've only finish 7 out of 20,, this giving me so much headache... hoohoohoo
Okay, but can you post any work you’ve done so far.
You need a force to balance mass times centripetal acceleration.
That force is provided by the weight times the coefficient of friction.
