Consider a banked road where there is a coefficient of static friction of 0.30 and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.25 between the tires and the roadway.The radius of the curve is R =50 m. (a) If the banking angle is b=25∘b=25^{\circ}, what is the maximum speed the automobile can have before sliding up the banking ? (b) What is the minimum speed the automobile can have before sliding down the baking?

Enter the numerical answer with no units as your answer (units are m/s)
