The maximum speed at which a truck can safely travel through an unbanked curve without slipping depends on all of the following factors except the diameter of the curve. the acceleration due to gravity. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and the tires. the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires. the ratio of the static frictional force between the road and the tires and the normal force exerted on the car.

Prabhu R.
A curve in a stretch of highway has radius $R .$ The road is unbanked. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and road is $\mu_{s} .$ (a) What is the fastest speed that a car can safely travel around the curve? (b) Explain what happens when a car enters the curve at a speed greater than the maximum safe speed. Illustrate with an FBD.
