A bank curve on a highway is designed for traffic to move at 60km/hr. The radius of thecurve is 200m. If traffic was moving slower than the designed speed due to rain, at 40km/hr,what must be the minimum coefficient of friction between the tires and the road that would allow the car to stay on the road without sliding? Is this static of kinetic friction?
