The greatest force a level road can exert on the tires of a certain 2000 -kg car is $4 \mathrm{kN}$. What is the highest speed the car can round a curve of radius $200 \mathrm{m}$ without skidding?
Pritesh R.
Assuming the coefficient of friction between the road and tyres of a car to be 0.5, the maximum speed with which the car can move round a curve of 40.0 m radius without slipping, if the road is unbanked, should be
