A scooter and its rider, having a combined mass of , are travelling at and need to negotiate a turn of radius . What should be the proper angle of banking if the required horizontal force for the turn is entirely provided by the normal force from the road? (Take )
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Given:
Mass
Velocity
Radius
Acceleration due to gravity
For banking without friction, the necessary centripetal force is provided entirely by the horizontal component of the normal reaction.
Dividing the two equations:
Substituting the given values:
$\theta = \tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)
