Question

A car is negotiating a curved road of radius R . The road is banked at an angle θ . The coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the road is μ s . The maximum safe velocity on this road is:, g R 2 μ s + tan ⁡ θ 1 - μ s tan ⁡ θ, g R μ s + tan ⁡ θ 1 - μ s tan ⁡ θ, g R μ s + tan ⁡ θ 1 - μ s tan ⁡ θ, g R 2 μ s + t a n θ 1 - μ s tan ⁡ θ
