A car rounds a bend of radius 80 m at a speed of 50 kilometres per hour. The car's centre of gravity is midway between the wheels and is 0.6 m above the ground. The car’s lateral wheelbase is 1.4 m. Find the value of the coefficient of friction necessary to prevent side slip at this speed. Show that the car will not have overturned.
