Banked Curve

Take a car round a flat or banked curve. Then spin a swing ride and find its tilt.

Physics · Class 11 · Banked roads and swing rides · 8 simulations. For JEE, NEET and your boards.

What you'll learn

  1. Flat road: Friction holds a car on a flat curve
  2. No friction needed: A bank angle that needs no friction
  3. The bob in the car: A hanging bob tilts like the bank
  4. Top speed on a rough bank: On a rough bank, friction helps up to μN
  5. The least speed: Too slow, and the car slides down
  6. Find μ from the skid: Read μ from the skid speed
  7. Swing ride: A swing ride is a conical pendulum
  8. The chain's pull: The chain's pull is mω²L
