Road Banking - JEE Level Practice

Questions (Full Set)


1. A vehicle is moving on a banked road of radius 100 m at a speed of 20 m/s. What
should be the angle of banking so that the vehicle can move without relying on
friction?

2. A car takes a turn on a road of radius 50 m. The angle of banking is 30°. What is
the speed at which no friction is required?

3. A vehicle negotiates a curve of radius 40 m on a road banked at an angle of 20°.


The coefficient of friction between the tires and road is 0.3. Find the maximum
speed at which the vehicle can take the turn without skidding.

4. Derive an expression for the optimum speed at which a vehicle can take a banked
curve without the aid of friction.

5. Explain with a free-body diagram how friction helps or opposes motion on a


banked road. Describe cases for speeds higher or lower than the optimum speed.

6. A vehicle is turning on a banked curve at a speed lower than the ideal speed. In
which direction does friction act, and why?

7. A road is banked at an angle θ for speed v. If a vehicle moves at speed 2v, what
role does friction play in keeping it on the road? Derive the expression for required
frictional force.

8. What are the consequences of over-banking and under-banking a road turn?


Explain using relevant force analysis.

9. A bike is taking a turn of radius 30 m on a frictionless banked track. Calculate the


banking angle required for a speed of 54 km/h.

10. The maximum safe speed on a banked road with radius 75 m and banking angle
25° is to be calculated considering a friction coefficient of 0.4. Find the value.
