Mr. M is a professional race car driver. The race track he is about to drive on has a curve that is designed so that the smallest circular curve he can take has a radius of 112m and the biggest circular curve he can take has a radius of 165m. The height of the outer wall of the track is 18m. The race is happening after a snow storm, so he is assuming there is no friction. What is the fastest speed he can safely take this corner?
