 The main idea, of banking the road or providing the super elevation in the railway lines, is to distribute the
load of the vehicle equally on both the wheels. But, if the roads are not banked, then a vehicle may also
have to face the following mishappenings. This will also happen, when the vehicle moves with a velocity
more than the permissible velocity.
1. The vehicle may overturn, or
2. The vehicle may skid away.

 FRICTION

Introduction
Friction is the property of two surfaces in contact by virtue of
which each surface resist the relative motion of the other
surface. Thus when a body moves of tends to move tangentially
with respect to the surface, on which it rests, the interlocking
property of the projecting particles opposes the motion.
W

This opposing force which acts in

the opposite direction of
movement of the body is called P
force of friction of simply friction.
F =  x Rn

2 MOVING ALONG A LEVEL CIRCULAR PATH

Let
m = Mass of the vehicle
v = Velocity of the vehicle
r = Radius of the circular
path
 = Coefficient of friction
between the wheels of the
vehicle and the ground.
