Q1. A high-speed race track has a banked turn of radius 300 metres. The road surface is angled towards the inside of the curve at 30° above the horizontal. A 1200 kg car fitted with racing tires of total diameter 60 cm can maintain a speed of 200 km/h on this part of the track. a) Calculate the minimum coefficient of friction between the car tires and the road that will prevent the race car from sliding while driving around the turn. (8) b) If the car takes 10 seconds to complete this turn, calculate the angular speed of the car's wheels. (3) (11 marks)
