Can someone help me with this question? You don't necessarily have to give the answer, just the equations and procedures needed to solve it.

A 1158-kg car and a 2220-kg pickup truck approach a curve on the expressway that has a radius of 269 m.
At what angle should the highway engineer bank this curve so that vehicles traveling at 70.3 mi/h can safely round it regardless of the condition of their tires
