A car is going around a flat curve which has a radius of curvature of 87.3 m with a constant speed of 27.3 m/s. The car has a mass of 1410. kg. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is μs = 0.975, while the coefficient of kinetic friction is uk = 0.648. What is the work done by the static friction force between the tires and the road for the car to travel a distance of one quarter of the circumference of a circle with this radius?
