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.

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.
