A car travels at 17 m/s without skidding around a 35 m radius unbanked curve. What is the minimum value of the static friction coefficient between the tires and the road?

'(a) Calculate the centripetal force exerted on 900.0-kg car that negotiates a 500.0-m radius curve at 25.00 m/s. (b) Assuming an unbanked curve, find the minimum static coefficient of friction between the tires and the road, static friction being the reason that keeps the car from slipping:'

If the coefficient of static friction between a car's tires and the pavement is 0.65, calculate the minimum torque that must be applied to the 66-cm-diameter tire of a 1080-kg automobile in order to "lay rubber" (make the wheels spin, slipping as the car accelerates). Assume each wheel supports an equal share of the weight.
