Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

During a freak snow storm a banked curve (18°) with a radius of
85m is covered with frictionless ice. A car approaches this curve at
a speed of 19m/s. Will the car stay in the curve, fall into the curve
or slide out of the curve. Show the math of your answer.
