A track is being designed so that a car can go at 50. m/s around a 100. m radius curve without needing to turn the wheels. At what angle must the track be banked with respect to the horizontal so the normal force can counter both the weight of a car and the centripetal force?(The numbers in front of the decimal point are significant.)
