The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the speed at which a vehicle should travel on a circular road of radius 50 m with a banking angle of \(30^\circ\) such that friction is not used, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Vehicle When a vehicle moves on a banked circular road, the forces acting on it are: - The gravitational force (\(mg\)) acting downwards. - The normal force (\(N\)) acting perpendicular to the surface of the road. ### Step 2: Set Up the Force Equations Since the vehicle is on a banked curve and friction is not used, the normal force provides the necessary centripetal force for circular motion. The components of the normal force can be expressed as: - \(N \sin \theta\) provides the centripetal force. - \(N \cos \theta\) balances the weight of the vehicle (\(mg\)). ### Step 3: Write the Equations From the force balance, we have: 1. \(N \sin \theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}\) (centripetal force) 2. \(N \cos \theta = mg\) (weight balance) ### Step 4: Divide the Two Equations Dividing the first equation by the second gives: \[ \frac{N \sin \theta}{N \cos \theta} = \frac{mv^2/r}{mg} \] This simplifies to: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{rg} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the Values Given: - \(\theta = 30^\circ\) - \(r = 50 \, \text{m}\) - \(g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2\) We know that \(\tan 30^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\). Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{v^2}{50 \cdot 9.81} \] ### Step 6: Solve for \(v^2\) Rearranging the equation to solve for \(v^2\): \[ v^2 = \frac{50 \cdot 9.81}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 7: Calculate \(v\) Now, calculate \(v\): \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{50 \cdot 9.81}{\sqrt{3}}} \] Calculating the values: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{490.5}{\sqrt{3}}} \approx \sqrt{283.5} \approx 16.82 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The speed at which the vehicle should go on this road so that friction is not used is approximately \(16.82 \, \text{m/s}\). ---
