A flat curve on a highway has a radius of 240 m. A car rounds the curve at a speed of 27.0 m/s. a) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction needed to prevent sliding? b) Suppose the highway becomes icy and the coefficient of static friction changes to 1/4 of its value in part (a). What would the maximum speed of the car now be? A flat curve on a highway has a radius of 240 m.
