Frictionless Banked Racetrack A race car is on a very slippery circular track of radius 195 m. The racetrack is banked at an angle of 27.0° with respect to the horizontal. Find the speed at which the race car will not slide up or down the track, assuming that friction with the track surface is negligible.

Staying in the Loop You swing a 315 g metal ball at the end of a 1.25 m long string in a vertical circle. The mass has a speed of 17.0 m/s when at the lowest point in the circle. (a) Find the tension in the string when the mass is at its lowest point. (b) What is the minimum speed for the mass when it is at the top of the loop for the rope to stay taut?
