Banking of Roads & Bridges

A car of mass m is crossing the convex bridge of radius of curvature R with speed V. At the highest point the thrust is (gg = gravitational acceleration)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. At the top of a convex bridge the net force points down towards the centre.
  2. mg−N=mV2Rmg - N = \frac{mV^2}{R}
  3. N=mg−mV2RN = mg - \frac{mV^2}{R}
  4. So the answer is (c).
