A superspeedway in New Delhi has among the highest super-elevation rates of any track on the Indians Grand Prix circuit. The track requires drivers to negotiate turns with a radius of 335 m and 33° banking. Given this information, the coefficient of side friction required in order to allow a vehicle to travel at 320 km/h along the curve is:
