Let the car of Example 5 have the coefficient of friction µ,. That is, the maximum frictional force that can be exerted by the car on the road surface is µ,mg, where mg is the normal force of the car on the road (the force of the car on the road due to gravity). What is the minimum value µ, can take in order that the car not slide off the road?
