** Please answer the question without using Calculus. This is an algebra based Physics course. Thank you! **

A traveling vehicle needs to make a tight turn of radius 8 m on a level, paved road. The coefficient of (static) friction between the rubber tire and concrete is 1.

a) Draw a force diagram for the car while it is turning. Label each of your forces with detailed notation (e.x W_{on block by floor})

b) What is the fastest that the car can go so that it does not slide during the turn?
