Banking of Roads & Bridges

Radius of curved road is ' RR ', width of road is ' bb '. The outer edge of road is raised by ' hh ' with respect to inner edge so that a car with velocity ' VV ' can pass safe over it, then value of ' hh ' is ( g=g = acceleration due to gravity)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Correct banking: tan⁡θ=V2Rg\tan\theta = \frac{V^2}{Rg}.
  2. For small angle, tan⁡θ≈sin⁡θ=hb\tan\theta \approx \sin\theta = \frac{h}{b}.
  3. h=V2bRgh = \frac{V^2 b}{Rg}
  4. So the answer is (a).
