Question

what is banking of road and what are the advantages of banking of road

Answer 1

Answer:

Banking of roads is defined as the phenomenon in which the edges are raised for the curved roads above the inner edge to provide the necessary centripetal force to the vehicles so that they take a safe turn.

Advantages of Banking Of Road:

1. As the speed of vehicle increases, the centripetal force needed for the circular motion of vehicle also increases.
2. The force of friction is not always reliable because it changes when roads are oily or wet due to rains etc.
3. To eliminate this difficulty, the curved roads are generally banked.
