On a dry road,the maximum speed of a vehicle along a circular path is $V$. When the road becomes wet,the maximum speed becomes $\frac{V}{2}$. If the coefficient of friction of the dry road is $\mu$,then the coefficient of friction of the wet road is:

$A$ person is driving a vehicle at a uniform speed of $5 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ on a level curved track of radius $5 \text{ m}$. The coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the road is $0.1$. Will the person slip while taking the turn with the same speed? (Take $g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)
