What is the coefficient of static friction between the tires of a car and the level road if the maximum speed is 25.0 m/s when it makes a turn of radius 70.0 m? Physics

Step 1
When a car makes a turn on a level road, the centripetal force required to keep the car moving in a circle is provided by the frictional force between the tires and the road. Show more…

A road with a radius of 75.0 m is banked so that a car can navigate the curve at a speed of 16.7 m/s without any friction. When a car is going 20.8 m/s on this curve, what minimum coefficient of static friction is needed if the car is to navigate the curve without slipping?

A car travels at a steady 40.0 m/s around a horizontal (not banked) curve of radius 200 m What iS the minimum coefficient of static friction between the road and the car's tires that will allow the car to travel at this speed without sliding?

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires on a car is 0.60 and the car has no negative lift. What speed will put the car on the verge of sliding as it rounds a level curve of 30.5 $\mathrm{m}$ radius?
