A highway curve with a radius of R metres is banked at an angle o, so that cars moving at v m/s around the curve do not have to rely on friction when making the turn. a) Show (from 1st principles) that the angle at which the road is banked is given by v2 ortan GR b) A banked highway curve with a radius of 264 m is designed for traffic moving at 76 km/h, but many motorists speed around the curve at 98 km/h. Determine the minimum coefficient of friction required between the tyres and the tar to prevent the cars from sliding off the road in the turn. Mmin =
