The problem:
A 2.00 x 10^3 kg car rounds a circular turn of radius 20.0 m. If the road is flat and the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is 0.70, how fast can the car go without skidding?
I know that I must use the formula F_c=\frac{mv^2_T}{r}
and so I come up with F_c=\frac{(2000)(v^2_T)}{20}
I have no idea how to incorporate the coefficient of friction into the equation (I know that I need to incorporate it into the left side of the equation, I simply don't know how).
