Assertion : Improper banking of roads causes wear and tear of tyres. Reason : The necessary centripetal force is provided by the force of friction between the tyres and the road.

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.

Roads are banked on curves so that

Draw a diagram showing all components of forces acting on a vehicle moving on a curved banked road. Write the necessary equation for maximum safety, speed and state the significance of each term involved in it.

What is banking of roads ? Why is it essential ? Derive the equation for the angle of banking ignoring friction between the tyres and the road.

Statement I : On banked curved road, vertical component of normal reaction provides the necessary centripetal force. Statement II : Centripetal force is always required for turning

When a cyclist turns on a circular path,the necessary centripetal force is provided by friction between the tyres and the road. If centripetal force is not provided by friction, then for the vehicle to move on circular path, the track is banked. The correct angle of banking for a curved smooth road of radius 120 m for a speed of 108 km//h(g=10 ms^(-2)) is
