Homework Statement
A car approaches a curve that is banked at 20 degrees. The minimum speed for the curve is 20 m/s. The car's mass is 1000 kg. What is the radius of the curve if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5 and the coefficient of static friction is 1.0?
Homework Equations
I really don't know how to set up an equation for this problem. I understand that there are three forces acting upon the car, static friction, kinetic friction and force of gravity.
The Attempt at a Solution
I understand that the coefficients both are interpreted to be:
(vector)fk = u(k)N
(vector)fs = u(s)N
(vector)Fg = mg
