A car of mass 700 kg travels round a horizontal curve of 60 m radius. The centre of gravity of the car is 1.25 m above the ground and the distance between the wheels is 1.7 m. If the limiting coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.6 determine, with reason, whether the vehicle will skid or overturn when rounding the bend at speed. Hence state the maximum permissible speed to navigate the curve safely.
