Question

Why are road's banked at turning ?

Open in App
Solution

If the road is banked, so that the outer edge is above the inner edge, then a portion of the normal force from the road on the tires points towards the center of the track; this fraction of the normal force can provide enough centripetal force to keep the car moving in a circle.
