A modern grand-prix racing car of mass m is travelling on a flat track in a circular arc of radius R with a speed v. If the coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the track is \mu_{s}, then the magnitude of negative lift f_{L} acting downwards on the car is (Assume forces on the four tyres are identical and g= acceleration due to gravity) [17 Mar 2021 Shift 1]
