Before attempting this problem, review Examples 7 and 8. Two curves on a highway have the same radii. However, one is unbanked and the other is banked at an angle u. A car can safely travel along the unbanked curve at a maximum speed v0 under conditions when the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is μs = 0.81. The banked curve is frictionless, and the car can negotiate it at the same maximum speed v0. Find the angle u of the banked curve?
