Homework Statement
A roadway is designed for traffic moving at a speed of 28 m s . A curved section of the
roadway is a circular arc of 190 m radius. The roadway is banked so that a vehicle can go
around the curve with the lateral friction forces equal to zero
Homework Equations
[itex]F_C = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[itex]
N\sin\beta = \frac{mv^2}{r}
[/itex]
[itex]
mg\cos\beta\sin\beta = \frac{mv^2}{r}
[/itex]
[itex]
2\sin\beta\cos\beta = \frac{2v^2}{rg}
[/itex]
[itex]
\sin(2\beta) = \frac{2(28)(28)}{(190)(9.8)}
[/itex]
I got the right answer if I didnt assume [itex]N = mg\cos\beta[/itex]
Edit : Nevermind, careless mistake I was using different coordinate systems.
