don't get it........?

1. A 1200kg car rounds a curve of radius 70m banked at 12 degrees at 25 m/s. is there a (static) friction force? if so, how much and in what direction?

I think it's asking if a friction force is needed to contribute to the centripetal force or if a component of the normal force is enough.

    force // to slope due to weight

    = 1200 * g * sin 12

    = 2447.54 N

    centripetal force

    = m v^2 /r

    = 1200 * 25^2 / 70

    = 10714.29 N

    net force // to slope

    = 2447.54 - 10714.29 cos 12

    = - 8032.1 N

    in the cetripetal force direction to be countered by friction force.

    Yes, the friction force is 8032.1N -direction down the slope --answer
