Answer:

The value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity (v) = 60 \frac{m}{s}

Radius = 150 m

The velocity of the car in this case is given by

v = \sqrt{r g \tan \theta}

v^{2} = r g \tan \theta

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

Put all the values in above formula we get

\tan \theta = \frac{60^{2} }{(150)(9.81)}

\tan \theta = 2.446

\theta = 67.76 °

Therefore the value of  the correct angle of banking for the road is \theta = 67.76 °

How does this picture apply to Newtons 3rd law.Please make it well developed!!!Thanks!
Orlov [11]

<u>Explanation for the given picture:</u>

Initially, three principles of movement proposed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1686 "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis". The third law says that every action (force) in nature has an equal but has opposite reaction.

In other words, when object A produces force on object B, then this object B also exerts the same but opposite forces on object A. Remember that forces get exerted on various objects. For example, if we put a wooden block in the floor, this block will create a force that should be equal to its mass, W = mg, which will work down.  

The photo above clearly shows a person jumping off a tree on a wooden board, and therefore bouncing on the board because of the force exerted by the wooden board. Newton's third law is important if a person uses his power as weight (W = mg), and this in turn turns the person upside down! hence

Newtons 3rd law applies in above picture.

A climber pulls down on a rope causing his body to rise up with the rope? Which law of motion is it?
12345 [234]
This would be called the law of action-reaction. This states that every action will have an equal and opposite reaction. The action in the example is pulling down on the rope. The opposite and equal reaction is the climers body moving upward. The same law can be applied to a rocket. The action is the engines pushing down and the reaction is the rocket going up. :D
