3. A car of mass 800 kg is driven at constant speed \(v \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) round a bend in a race track. Around the bend, the track is banked at \(20 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal and the path followed by the car can be modelled as a horizontal circle of radius 20 m . The car is modelled as a particle. The coefficient of friction between the car tyres and the track is 0.5
Given that the tyres do not slip sideways on the track, find the maximum value of \(v\).
