First slide
Banking of road
Question

A motorcyclist moving with a velocity of 144 kmh-1 on a flat road takes a turn on the road at a point,
where the radius of curvature of the road is 40 m. The acceleration due to gravity is 10 ms-2. In order
to avoid sliding, he must bend with respect to the vertical plane by an angle

Moderate
Solution

Given,  v=144kmh-1=144×518 ms-1=40 ms-1

  tanθ=v2Rg=(40)240×10=1600400=4

  θ=tan-1(4)
