Question

For a vehicle to negotiate a banked curve in poor weather conditions, where the force of friction f = 0, for a given velocity v =25 m/s, and the angle at which the curve is banked is 15, find the radius of curvature R.

Answer 1

`R=240m`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity
`v=25m/s`

Force of friction f = 0

Angle
`\theta=15`

Generally the equation for Radius of curvature is mathematically given by

`R=frac{v^2}{tan\theta *g}`

`R=frac{25^2}{tan 15 *9.81}`

`R=240m`
