    A circular road of radius 50 m has the angle of banking equal to 30°. At what speed should a vehicle go on this road so that the friction is not used?
    Ans : Given:
    Angle of banking = θ = 30°
    Radius = r = 50 m
    Assume that the vehicle travels on this road at speed v so that the friction is not used.
    We get:
    `` \,\mathrm{\,tan \,}\theta =\frac{{v}^{2}}{rg}``
    `` \Rightarrow \,\mathrm{\,tan \,}30°=\frac{{v}^{2}}{rg}``
    `` \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{{v}^{2}}{rg}``
    `` \Rightarrow {v}^{2}=\frac{rg}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{50\times 10}{\sqrt{3}}``
    `` \Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{500}{\sqrt{3}}}=17\,\mathrm{\,m \,}/\,\mathrm{\,s \,}``
