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
    $\frac{2 \mu}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3 \mu}{4}$
