Write a note on banking of roads.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In order to provide centripetal force for three or four wheeler vehicles on curved roads, the outer edge is elevated so that `Rcostheta` balances the weight of the body and `Rsintheta` provides necessary centripetal force.
`Rsintheta=(mv^2)/r`
`Rcostheta=mg`
Hence angle of banking `theta=tan^(-1)((v^2)/(rg))`
or `v_("max")=sqrt(rgtantheta)` in the absence of friction.
Note : In the presence of friction between the roads and the wheels
`v_("max")=sqrt(rg((mu+tantheta)/(1-mutantheta)))`
