Vector Diagram for Vehicle moving on curved Banked Road - Smarter Techniques

 

How to Draw a Vector Diagram for a Vehicle Moving on a Curved Banked Road? (Smarter Techniques)



   Banking means making the roadbed slightly inclined to the horizontal. This is done at curved roads for safe driving. Fig. A represents a cross section of a banked road along with a vehicle on a curved road.

    Fig A

Consider a vehicle of mass m moving with velocity v on a curved road of radius r and banked at an angle of Ө.

 

The normal reaction by the roadbed on the vehicle N is resolved into NsinӨ and NcosӨ.

 NsinӨ acts as a centripetal force mv/r on the vehicle.

                  NsinӨ = mv2 /r

  and NcosӨ = mg = weight of vehicle.

Using these equations we get  

This is the safe velocity of a vehicle on a banked curved road.
