A highway curves to the left with radius of
curvature R = 46 m. The highway’s surface
is banked at θ = 26 so that the cars can take
this curve at higher speeds.
Consider a car of mass 1018 kg whose
tires have static friction coefficient µ = 0.57
against the pavement.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s/s.
Ho fast can the car take this curve without skidding to the outside of the curve?
Answer in units of m/s.

It is question #4.
I tried to do this by setting the equations for Normal Force and Frictional Force equal and solving for V.
Therefore I got,
{ (v2/R)cos(theta) - mgsin(theta) } = { u (v2/R)*sin(theta) + mgsin (theta))
However, I am unable to get the correct answer.
Help is needed as soon as possible. Thank you.
