A turn of radius 20 m is banked for the vehicles going at a speed of 36km/h. If the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tyre is 0.4, what are the possible speeds of a vehicle so that it neither slips down nor skids up?

Angle of banking for designed speed
`tan theta = (upsilon_(0)^(2))/(Rg)` …(i)
`V = 36 kmh^(-1) = 10 ms^(-1)`
`rArr tan theta = (upsilon_(0)^(2))/(Rg)= (10^(2))/(20 xx 10) = (1)/(2)`
The vehicle may have the tendency to slide up or down depending on the speed of the vehicle .If speed of the vehicle is more it has tendency ti side up and vise- versa
For speed graeter than designed speed : The vehicle has the tendecy to slide . friction will act downward.

In verticle direction `sum F_(y)= 0, N cos theta - mu N sin theta = mg `
In horizontal direction `sum F_(r)= (mv_(max)^(2))/(R )`
`N sin theta + mu N cos theta = (mv_(max)^(2))/(R )`....(i)
`N cos theta - mu N sin theta = mg`....(iii)
From (ii) and) (iii)
`(N (sin theta + mu cos theta))/(N (cos theta - mu sin theta)) = ((mv_(max)^(2))/(R ))/(mg) rArr ((sin theta + mu cos theta))/(cos theta - mu sin theta) = (v_(max)^(2))/(Rg)`
`rArr ((tan theta + mu)/(1 - mu tan theta)) = (v_(max)^(2))/(Rg)`....(iv)
`rArr ((tan theta + mu)/(1 - mu tan theta)) = ((0.5 + 0.4)/(1 - 0.4 xx 0.5))= (v_(max)^(2))/(20 xx 10)`
`rArr v_(max) = 15 ms^(-1)`
For speed less than desigram speed : The vehicle has tendecy to slide down friction will act upward

In verticle direction `sum F_(y)= 0, N cos theta + mu N sin theta = mg `....(v)
In horizontal direction `sum F_(r)= (mv_(max)^(2))/(R )`
`N sin theta - mu N cos theta = (mv_(max)^(2))/(R )`....(vi)
From (v) and) (vi) we get`((sin theta - mu cos theta))/(cos theta + mu sin theta)= (upsilon^(2))/(Rg)`
`((tan theta - mu)/(1 + mu tan theta )) = (upsilon^(2))/(Rg) rArr upsilon_(min)= 10 sqrt((1)/(6))ms^(-1)`
