A vehicle weighing 500 kilograms travels on a round banked highway that is inclined at angle of theta=20 and has a radius of 100 m at one speed. This is the quickest the vehicle can go without sliding up or down the hill. If the static friction force is high enough to allow the vehicle to handle the curve, what is the one speed at which the car can go without sliding down?
