Homework Statement


"The third turn at the Alamo Cart Dirt Speedway is tilted at 30* and has a radius of 240m. Determine the speed of the Cart Car going around the turn, assuming the car has no help from friction."

P.S.: This is not a homework or problem worth any credit. Just an extra problem I wanted to try.
