Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

Determine the minimum angle at which a road should be banked so that a car
travelling at 20 m/s can safely round the curve without the aid of friction. The
radius of the curve is 200.0 m.
