Question

A curve of radius 35 m is

Answer 1

Answer:

The banking angle is 23.98 degrees.

Explanation:

We have,

Radius of a curve is 35 m

Speed of a car is 7 m/s

It is required to find the banking angle. At equilibrium, net force is equal to the centripetal force between vehicle and the road such that the banking angle is given by :

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}$

g is acceleration due to gravity

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{7^2}{35\times \dfrac{22}{7}}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}\left(0.445\right)\\\\\theta=23.98^{\circ}$

So, the banking angle is 23.98 degrees.
