Find the required banking angle for a curve of radius 400.0 m of the curve is to be negotiated at a speed of 60.0 km/hr without the need of a friction force.

This is a physics problem.

Hello, I am doing this topic for my physics project. The topic is on the luge tracks. In order to find the optimal banking speed, we came up with using the formula:
tan(angle)= v^2/rg
This would require us to know the angle and the radius.
My question is: is this the correct way to find the optimal banking speed? In addition, I am convinced that there is no such thing as “optimal banking speed.”
