Determine the angleof banking so as to minimizethe wearand tear of the tyres ofcar negotiating a banked curve

Answer»

Solution :Letthe surfaceof the roadmakeangle `theta`withhorizontal surface. THENTHE normalforcemakesthe sameangle`theta` with the verticalwhenthe cartakesa turnthereare twoforcesactingon thecar.
IGravitationalforce mg(downwards )
(ii)Normalforce N(perpendicular tosurface)
Thenormalforcecan be resolvedintotwocomponents . N cos `theta`and Nsin`theta ` . The gravitionalforce mgandcompoenetNsin`theta ` willprovidethenecessarycentripetalacceleration. ByusingNewton'ssecondlaw .
N cos `theta= mg`
N sin `theta = (MV^(2))/(r )`
By dividingthe equationwe get tan `theta= (V^(2))/(r g) `
`v= sqrt( rg tan theta)`
Thebankingangle `theta ` and RADIUSOF curvatureof theroador trackdeterminesthe safe speedof the carat theturnin
