Question 6 A car is turning a curve of radius 24 m. The curve is unbanked (flat), meaning friction is providing all of the centripetal force. Because of hazardous road conditions, the coefficient of static friction is reduced to only 0.31. What is the maximum velocity at which the car can travel around the curve? Give your answer in m/s with at least three significant figures.
