Problem 25PE
What is the ideal banking angle for a gentle turn of 1.20 km radius on a highway with a 105 km/h speed limit (about 65 mi/h), assuming everyone travels at the limit?
ANSWER:
Solution 25PE :
Step 1 of 3:-
The radius of the curve is, .
The speed is, .
While moving through the curve, the normal component which is the weight of the vehicle is,
-------------------(1)
And --------------------(2) (the centripetal force).
Here is the bending angle which has to be determined.
