Chapter 6, Problem 2CQ
As a car rounds a banked circular curve at constant speed, several forces are acting on it: for example, air resistance toward the rear, friction from the pavement in the forward direction, gravity, and the normal force from the tilted road surface. In what direction does the not force point? Explain.

- 14. A car travels at constant speed around a circular curve. If the car is to avoid sliding outward, the horizontal frictional force F exerted by the road on the tires must at least balance the centrifugal force pulling outward.

Assuming the roadway is level, find the magnitude of the force between the tires and the road such that the car stays on the circular path and does not skid.
