Answer: 0.683

Explanation: The relationship between a car moving along a curve and the frictional force is given below as

us×g = v²/r

Where us = coefficient of static friction =?, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², v = 22.4 m/s and r = 75m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

us×9.8 = 22.4²/ 75

us ×9.8 = 501.76/75

us ×9.8 = 6.690

us = 6.690/9.8 = 0.683
