| help on Physics Angles? You are asked to design a new freeway off ramp for Popular Avenue. Suppose the new ramp is to have a radius of 125 meters. What angle should the roadway be banked for a exit speed of 45 mi/hr i have no idea how to do this. please help me. any help at all is appreciated thank you! |

| If ? is the angle of banking, the normal reaction N of the road is inclined at angle ? to the vertical. Its horizontal component provides the centripetal force mv^2 /r. N sin ? = mv^2 /r.--------------------1. Its vertical component balances the weight of the car. N cos ? = m g .--------------------2 1 divided by 2 gives tan ? = v^2 / ( r g } ============================= 45 m/ h = 45*1609 m /hour = 20.11 m/s. tan ? = 20.11 ^2 / ( 125*9.8 } ? = 18.27? =========================== |
