Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires on a car is 0.60 and the car has no negative lift. What speed will put the car on the verge of sliding as it rounds a level curve of 27.0 m radius?

correction:

solve for v, the radius is given. and remember that the masses will cancel.
