Definition: Banked Road

The road that is banked at a certain angle (θ) to avoid the skidding of vehicles travelling on a circular path is called a banked road.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Banking Angle

The angle by which a road should be banked to allow safe circular motion of a vehicle is called the banking angle.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Conical Pendulum

A mass suspended by a string that rotates in a horizontal circular path, forming a cone shape, is called a conical pendulum.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Well of Death

The vertical cylindrical wall along which motorcycles or cars move in a long horizontal circle, using normal reaction force from the wall as centripetal force, is called the well of death.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Unbanked Road - Maximum Speed

vs = \[\sqrt {μrg}\]

where μ = coefficient of friction, r = radius, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Banked Road - Most Safe Speed

v = \[\sqrt {rg tan θ}\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Banking Angle

\[\theta=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{v^2}{rg}\right)\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Banked Road - Minimum Speed

\[v_{\min}=\sqrt{rg\left(\frac{\tan\theta-\mu_s}{1+\mu_s\tan\theta}\right)}\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Banked Road - Maximum Speed

\[v_{\max}=\sqrt{rg\left(\frac{\tan\theta+\mu_s}{1-\mu_s\tan\theta}\right)}\]

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Well of Death - Minimum Speed

\[v_{\min}=\sqrt{\frac{rg}{\mu_s}}\]
