On which road do we get maximum speed: a circular road with a slope (banked road) or a level circular road?

$A$ car is moving on a horizontal curved road with radius $50\,m$. The approximate maximum speed of the car will be $............\,ms^{-1}$,if the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is $0.34$. [Take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$]

$A$ $0.5 \ kg$ mass is in contact against the inner wall of a cylindrical drum of radius $4 \ m$ rotating about its vertical axis. The minimum rotational speed of the drum to enable the mass to remain stuck to the wall (without falling) is $5 \ rad/s$. The coefficient of friction between the drum's inner wall surface and mass is . . . . . . . (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$A$ disc of radius $5\, m$ is rotating with an angular frequency of $10\, rad/s$. $A$ block of mass $2\, kg$ is to be placed on the disc. If the coefficient of friction between the disc and the block is $\mu_s = 0.4$,find the maximum distance from the axis where the block can be placed without sliding (in $cm$).
