Banking


Consider again the problem of a car traveling along a banked turn. Sometimes roads have a “reversed” banking angle. That is, the road is tilted “away” from the center of curvature of the road. If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is μs = 0.6, the radius of curvature is 10 m, and the banking angle is 8°, what is the maximum speed at which a car can safely navigate such a turn?

Banking


This is a physics problem.

Hello, I am doing this topic for my physics project. The topic is on the luge tracks. In order to find the optimal banking speed, we came up with using the formula:
tan(angle)= v^2/rg
This would require us to know the angle and the radius.
My question is: is this the correct way to find the optimal banking speed? In addition, I am convinced that there is no such thing as “optimal banking speed.”
