How does banking of roads reduce wear and tear of the tyres ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a curved road is unbanked force of friction between the tyres and the road provides the necessary centripetal force friction has to be increased suitably that will cause wear and tear . However when the curved road is banked a component of normal reaction of the ground provides the necessary centripetal force . The role of friction becomes secondary Therefore wear and tear of the tyres is reduced .

How does banking of roadsreduce wear and tear of the tyres ?

A : Banking of roads reduces the wear and tear of the tyres of automobiles. R : By banking of the roads one component of the normal reaction on the automobile contributes to necessary centripetal force.
