- In a grand prix race of mass m= 600 kg as it travels on a fast track on a circular arc of radius r = 100 m because of the shape of the car and the wings on it. The passing air exerts a negative lift FL downward on the car.

Find an expression for the required banking angle θ of the track, measured from the horizontal. Your answer should be expressed in terms of M, R, w, and g.
