Answer:
5.5 km
Explanation:
First, we convert the distance from km/h to m/s
910 * 1000/3600
= 252.78 m/s
Now, we use the formula v²/r = gtanθ to get our needed radius
making r the subject of the formula, we have
r = v²/gtanθ, where
r = radius of curvature needed
g = acceleration due to gravity
θ = angle of banking
r = 252.78² / (9.8 * tan 50)
r = 63897.73 / (9.8 * 1.19)
r = 63897.73 / 11.662
r = 5479 m or 5.5 km
Thus, we conclude that the minimum curvature radius needed for the turn is 5.5 km
