A car of mass M = 1000 kg traveling at 50.0 km/hour enters a banked turn covered with ice. The road is banked at an angle θ , and there is no friction between the road and the car's tires as shown in (Figure 1). Use g = 9.80 m/s2 throughout this problem.What is the radius r of the turn if θ = 20.0 ∘ (assuming the car continues in uniform circular motion around the turn)?

The radius of the curved road at the given condition is 54.1 m.

The given parameters:

  • mass of the car, m = 1000 kg
  • speed of the car, v = 50 km/h = 13.89 m/s
  • banking angle, θ = 20⁰

The normal force on the car due to banking curve is calculated as follows;

[tex]Fcos(\theta) = mg[/tex]

The horizontal force on the car due to the banking curve is calculated as follows;

[tex]Fsin(\theta) = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]

Divide the second equation by the first;

[tex]\frac{Fsin(\theta)}{Fcos(\theta) } = \frac{mv^2}{rmg} \\\\tan(\theta) = \frac{v^2}{rg} \\\\r = \frac{v^2}{g \times tan(\theta)} \\\\r = \frac{13.89^2}{9.8 \times tan(20)} \\\\r = 54.1 \ m[/tex]

Thus, the radius of the curved road at the given condition is 54.1 m.
