ou are exiting a highway and need to slow down on the off-ramp in order to make the curve. It is rainy and the coefficient of static friction between your tires and the road is only 0.6. If the radius of the off-ramp curve is 24 m, then to what speed do you need to slow down the car in order to make the curve without sliding? (answer in m/s)
