A curve of 80m radius is banked at 7.5 degrees to the horizontal. A car of mass 1.5 tonnes has to negotiate this bend. The coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.8. Calculate:  1. The side pressure on the tyres when the car is stationary in the bend. 2.The speed at which this car would experience no side pressure on tis tyres when rounding the bend. 3. The speed at which this car would be on the point of skidding in this bend.
