A 1000-kg car travels along a straight 500-m portion of the highway (from A to B) at a constant speed of 10 m/s. At B, the car encounters an unbanked curve of radius 50 m. The car follows the road from B to C travelling at a constant speed of 10 m/s while the direction of the car changes from east to south. What is the magnitude of the frictional force (Centripetal force) between the tires and the road as the car negotiates the curve from B to C?
