A circular curve of highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. Assume the traffic consists of cars without negative lift. (a) If the radius of the curve is 150 m, what is the correct angle of banking of the road? (b) If the curve were not banked, what would be the minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road that would keep traffic from skidding out of the turn when traveling at60 km/h?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The correct angle of banking of the road is =11.

(b) The minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road is s=0.19.

Step by step solution

01

Given data:

Consider the given data as below.

The radius of curve, R =150 m

Speed of the car is,

vmax=60km/h=60km/h1m/s3.6km/g=16.7m/s

As known, that,

Acceleration due to gravity,g=9.8m/s2

02

Understanding the concept:

Consider that the car is 鈥渙n the verge of sliding out鈥 鈥 meaning that the force of static friction is acting 鈥渄own the bank鈥 (or 鈥渄ownhill鈥 from the point of view of an ant on the banked curve) with maximum possible magnitude. First, consider the vector sum Fof the (maximum) static friction force and the normal force.

Due to the fact that they are perpendicular and their magnitudes are simply proportional (Eq. 6-1), you can find Fis at an angle (measured from the vertical axis) =+s, where 迟补苍胃s=s(compare with Eq. 6- 13), and is the bank angle.

Now, the vector sum of F and the vertically downward pull (mg)of gravity must be equal to the (horizontal) centripetal force mv2R, which leads to a surprisingly simple relationship:

tan=mv2/Rmg=v2Rg

Writing this as an expression for the maximum speed, you have

role="math" localid="1661151842310" vmax=Rgtan+tan-1s

vmax=Rgtan+s1-stan 鈥.. (1)

03

Calculate the correct angle of banking of the road if the radius of the curve is 150m:

Note that the given speed is (in SI units) roughly 17 m/s .

If you do not want the cars to 鈥渄epend鈥 on the static friction to keep from sliding out (that is, if you want the component 鈥渄own the back鈥 of gravity to be sufficient), then you can set s=0in the equation (1), and you obtain

vmax=Rgtan+01-0tan=Rgtan+01=Rgtan+0

vmax2=Rgtan=tan-1vmax2Rg

Substitute the known values in the above equation.

=tan-116.7m/s2150m9.8m/s2=tan-1278.89m2/s21470m2/s2=tan-10.189=10.711

Hence, the correct angle of banking of the road is 11.

04

The minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road:

Calculate the minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road that would keep traffic from skidding out of the turn when traveling at if the curve were not banked

If, however, the curve is not banked (so=0) then the above expression becomes

v=Rgtantan-1s=Rgs

Solving this for the coefficient of static friction, you get

v2=Rgss=v2Rg

Substitute known values in the above equation.

s=16.7m/s2150m9.8m/s2=278.89m2/s21470m2/s2=0.19

Hence, the minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road is 0.19.
