EXAMPLE

Cars moving on smooth circular banked roads

Question: A circular road of radius r is banked for a speed v=40 km/hr. A car of mass m attempts to go on the circular road. The friction coefficient between the tyre and the road is negligible. Then comment on the speed of car when it turns.

Solution:

Applying Newton's laws in horizontal and vertical directions. we get

Nsinθ=

r

mv

2

... (I) and Ncosθ=mg ... (II)

from these two equations, we get

tanθ=

rg

v

2

v=

rgtanθ

This is the speed at which the car doesn't slide down even if there is no

friction. Since the car is in horizontal and vertical equilibrium. So the option 'A' is wrong.

If the car's speed is less then the banking speed then It will slip down to reduce the r.

If the car turns at correct speed of 40 m/s. Then the force by the road on the car is given by

N=

rsinθ

mv

2

=

cosθ

mg

....(III) [from (I) and (II)]

By looking at equation (III). we can say that, the force by the road on

the carN is equal to

rsinθ

mv

2

, not

r

mv

,

Since θ<

⇒sinθ<1&cosθ<1
