Concept explainers
At what angle should the curve be banked, if the speed limit on the curve will be 65 miles per hour? (Hint: Change 65 miles per hour to feet per second.)
Answer to Problem 49E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Civil Engineering: Highway curves are usually banked or tilted inward so that cars can negotiate the curve more safely. The proper banking angle
Calculation:
First, convert miles per hour into feet per second. Simplify replace the word “mile” with 5280 feet and replace hour with 3600 seconds.
