A truck is taking a curve of radius of 200 m and sees the road sign which says on it “12.0 m/sec”. The coefficient
of static friction is 0.3 such that the truck does not slide downwards. Find the angle that this curve has been designed to
be. (Hint: from the expression for speed v, which we got in lecture for banked curves with friction, solve for angle θ)
