Solution

The correct option is B increase centripetal force
Banking a road changes the angle of the normal reaction force, this change creates a component of the normal reaction along the radius of curvature of the road towards the centre. This provides additional centripetal force.

Q. Though friction can provide necessary centripetal force, the banking of roads is considered as advantageous in highways:

Q. Statement I : On a banked curved road, vertical component of normal reaction provides the necessary centripetal force.
Statement II : Centripetal force is always required for turning on a curved path.

Q. Assertion :During a turn, the value of centripetal force should be less than the limiting frictional force. Reason: The centripetal force is provided by the frcitional force between the tyres and the road

Q. Assertion : Improper banking of roads causes wear and tear of tyres.
Reason : The necessary centripetal force is provided by the force of friction between the tyres and the road.

Select the correct option.

Q. A vehicle can travel along a curved road with a speed of

18 k m h^{- 1}

10

m, calculate the banking angle of the road.
