What is called the zero banking angle?
Answer (1)
4th Nov, 2021
A vehicle must turn on a flat surface if the banking angle is zero. Because the normal force is vertical and balances the vehicle's weight, it can no longer contribute to the centripetal force. There is no way to turn if the surface is absolutely smooth. The friction force can only provide the centripetal force on a rough surface. The forces' vertical components counterbalance each other.
