Problem

A car with a speed of v=\SI90km/hv=\SI{90}{km/h} is driving through a curve of radius R=\SI250mR=\SI{250}{m}. How big must the road’s sideways slant be in degrees so that the people in the car wouldn’t feel any side force from the curve? The gravitational acceleration is g=\SI9.8m/s2g=\SI{9.8}{m/s^{2}}.
