Engineers who design roads typically “bank” (incline) curves in such a way that a car traveling at the recommended speed does not have to rely on friction between its tires and the road in order to round the curve. Suppose the radius of curvature of a road segment is 55 m, and the recommended speed is 45 km/hr. At what angle should the curve be banked?

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.
