Question

at what angle should the roadway be banked on a curve with a 50.0m radius, in order for cars to stay on the curve at 12.0 m/s even if the roadway is icy, and frictional force is zero? Include a free body diagram and resulting equation as your star point . Please help!!! at what angle should the roadway be banked on a curve with a 50.0m radius, in order for cars to stay on the curve at 12.0 m/s even if the roadway is icy, and frictional force is zero? Include a free body diagram and resulting equation as your star point . Please help!!!

Explanation / Answer

tan(theta) = V^2/rg ( in case of banking)

=> thetha = tan^-1(12^2/(50*9.8))

=> thetha = 16.37 degree
