A car rounds a bend in the road that has a radius of 73 m. Rather than being banked inward (toward the centre of the curve), the road is banked outward, at an angle of 15°. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.76. a) Draw a FBD diagram of the car, as viewed from behind. Use a coordinate system that is horizontal/vertical (i.e., not rotated). b) Find the maximum speed that the car can go around the bend without sliding off the road.
