उत्तर
The force of friction produces the centripetal force when a two-wheeler makes a turn on an unbanked road. To counterbalance a torque that would cause it to tumble outward, the two-wheeler leans inward. For starters, friction alone cannot supply the required centripetal force in all road conditions. The friction, on the other hand, causes tyre wear and tear. Any vehicle can navigate a turn on a banked road without relying on friction or putting strain on the tyres.
So, the Banking of road provides the centripetal force at curved surface.
Hence we need a banked road for a two wheeler.
