On a frictionless inclined, uniform, circular track the only force keeping a car moving around the track with a speed of v = 26.8 m/s is the normal force. If the car has a mass of 1,305 kg, and the track has a radius of 90 m, at what angle does the track have to be banked at to prevent the car from slipping?
