Question

25)b) Derive an expression for safe velocity of negotiating a curve by a body in a banked curve with frictional coefficient (mew)

Solution

forces acting on the body while negotiating the curve:(1) Normal force (N) -- Perpendicular to the plane Component along x-axis: N cosθ Component along y-axis: N sinθ(2) Centripetal force (Fnet) =mv2r -- towards the centre of the curve (horizontal)(3) Frictional force (f) =μs N --along the plane in downward direction Component along x-axis: μs N cosθ Component along y-axis: μs N sinθ (4)Weight of the body = mg -- vertically downward directionSum of forces along x-axis:Fx=mv2rN sinθ+μs Ncosθ=mv2r N sinθ+μs cosθ=mv2r ...... (1)Sum of forces along x-axis:Fy=0N cosθ-μs N sinθ - mg=0N cosθ-μs sinθ =mg ...... (2)Divide (1) with (2):sinθ+μs cosθcosθ-μs sinθ=v2rgv=rgsinθ+μs cosθcosθ-μs sinθwhereμs=Coefficient of static frictionθ=Angle of the banking
