Question

For a vehicle to negotiate a banked curve in poor weather conditions, where the force of friction f = 0, for a given velocity v =25 m/s, and the angle at which the curve is banked is 15, find the radius of curvature R.

Answer 1

Answer:

$R=240m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity $v=25m/s$

Force of friction f = 0

Angle $\theta=15$

Generally the equation for  Radius of curvature is mathematically given by

$R=frac{v^2}{tan\theta *g}$

$R=frac{25^2}{tan 15 *9.81}$

$R=240m$
