A tsunami with a record run-up height of 1720 feet occurred in Lituya Bay, Alaska. On the night of July 9, 1958, an earthquake along the Fairweather Fault in the Alaska Panhandle loosened about 40 million cubic yards (30.6 million cubic meters) of rock high above the northeastern shore of Lituya Bay.

A curve of radius 53.1 m is banked so that a car of mass 2.9 Mg traveling with uniform speed 67 km/hr can round the curve withou

prisoha [69]

Answer:

33.65°

Explanation:

radius, r = 53.1 m

m = 2.9 Mg = 2.9 x 10^6 g = 2900 kg

v = 67 km/h

convert km/h into m/s

v = 18.61 m/s

Let the angle of banking of road is θ, without friction

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

$tan\theta =\frac{18.61^{2}}{53.1\times 9.8}$

tan θ = 0.6655

θ = 33.65°

Thus, the angle of banking of road is 33.65°.
