A car is negotisting a curved road of radius $R$ . The road is banked at an angle theta. The coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the road is $μ_{s}$ . The maximum safe velocity on this road is:

Q R (\frac{μ _{s} + tan θ}{1 - μ _{s} tan θ})

\frac{Q}{R} (\frac{μ _{s} + tan θ}{1 - μ _{s} tan θ})

\frac{Q}{R ^{2}} (\frac{μ _{s} + tan θ}{1 - μ _{s} tan θ})

Q R^{2} (\frac{μ _{s} + tan θ}{1 - μ _{s} tan θ})
