Velocity of vehicle on curved banked road:-

Hello dear students we know that the maximum safety speed for the vehicle moving along the curved horizontal road is given as,

The surface of road and so the frictional forces are changes due to some factors like rainfall, seasons etc. Hence force of friction is not reliable. Its magnitude decreases when the road becomes wet due to rains or when oil falls on the road.

Thus force of friction will not be able to produce necessary centripetal force and vehicle will skid off. To avoid this roads should be banked.

Banking of road:

The elevation of outer edge of road over its inner edge is known as banking of road.

The angle between elevated surface of road and the horizontal surface of road is known as angle of banking.

Let’s find the velocity of a car on a banked road ……!

Consider a vehicle of mass ‘m’ moving velocity V along a curved banked road at an angle θ as shown in fig. below.

The force acting on vehicle is weight ‘mg’ acting vertically downward & normal reaction N.

The normal reaction ‘N’ can be resolved into two components.

  1. Ncosθ- vertical component of N
  2. Nsinθ – horizontal component of N

There is also frictional force bent tyros of vehicle & road surface which is resolved into two components.

  1. f cosθ – along vertical direction
  2. f sinθ – along horizontal direction

The component of normal reaction Ncosθ is balanced by weight ‘mg’ of vehicle & component f sinθ of frictional force.

∴ N cos θ = f sin θ + mg
∴ mg = N cos θ – f sin θ ………………… (1)

The component of normal reaction Nsinθ and frictional force fcosθ provides necessary centripetal force.

The above equation shows that the angle of banking is independent on mass of vehicle.

Equation (4) gives the maximum safety speed of vehicle moving along the curved banked road.

Equation (5) give s optimum speed of vehicle moving along curved banked road

Ex. Railway track of curvature 2 km has inclination of θ0 for a maximum velocity of 72 kmph. Find the value of θ.

Solution: Here, R= 2 km=2000 m
