Problem

A 950 kg950\,\text{kg} car travels at 28 m/s28\,\text{m/s} on a 22∘22^\circ banked curve that has a radius of 85 m85\,\text{m}. Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction required between the tires and the roadway so that the car does not slide up or down the banking. Give your answer to two significant figures.
