As the road is level, the only forces are the "reaction to the centripetal force" (directed

outwards) and the frictional force (directed inwards).


We take the limiting case when the forces balance as only if the reaction is larger the
car skids.
Reaction to centripetal Force F=mv2R
Force due to friction F=R=mg
Therefore g=v2R
(independent of mass of vehicle)
or v=gR
substituting
v=0.39.8160
= 10.85 ms1
