Engineers are designing a curved section of a highway. If the radius of curvature of the curve is 173 m, at what angle should th
e curve be banked so that a car traveling at 29.0 m/s will stay on the road without the aid of frictional forces?
1 answer:
Answer: The angle Ø = 26
Explanation:
The weight and the normal force of the road are the only two external forces acting on the car. A frictionless surface can only exert a force that is perpendicular to the surface. This is a normal force.
Since the car does not leave the surface of the road, the vertical components of the two external forces must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Whereas ;
Horizontal component = centripetal force. While
The vertical component = Mg
Revolving the two components gives: tanØ = V^2/rg

<h3>How to find out who is carrying the heavy load?</h3>Write down given data from questions:
Board=510cm X 510mm.
Cylinder head with dimensions=43cm X 250mm.
Cylinder lies across the board 210cm from john.
Find out: Who is carry the heaviest load?
Calculation:
We assume that mass of cylinder head = x kg
Then weight=x x 9*81
W=9.81x Newton.
Weight per unit length= Weight/Total leanth
Weight per unit length= 9.81x/43
(w/l)=0.23x N/cm
From equation contition:
(210+21.5)
Therefore

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equation related to the Gravitational Force, the equation describes that
Where,
G = Gravitational Universal Constant
M = Mass of Earth (or Bigger star)
m = Mass of Object (or smallest star)
r = Radius
From the statement we know that once the impact is made, the golf ball is subjected to the forces that are exerted in nature. Since the air resistance, which would represent the drag force, is ignored. Only the forces related to gravity remain.
The gravitational force carries 'pushes' or 'attracts' the body towards the earth, while the speed decreases as it reaches its maximum height.
When the ball has reached its maximum height only the force of gravity begins to act on it, generating the attraction to the earth in parabolic motion.
Therefore the correct answer is B.
