Problem

A car negotiates a flat circular turn of radius 35 m35\,\text{m}. If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.700.70, what is the maximum speed the car can maintain without skidding? (a) 2.1×101 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−12.1\times10^{1}\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1} (b) 1.9×101 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−11.9\times10^{1}\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1} (c) 1.6×101 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−11.6\times10^{1}\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1} (d) 1.2×101 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−11.2\times10^{1}\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1}
