Answer:
4.92°
Explanation:
The banking angle θ = tan⁻¹(v²/rg) where v = designated speed of ramp = 30 mph = 30 × 1609 m/3600 s = 13.41 m/s, r = radius of curve = 700 ft = 700 × 0.3048 m = 213.36 m and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Substituting the variables into the equation, we have
θ = tan⁻¹(v²/rg)
= tan⁻¹((13.41 m/s)²/[213.36 m × 9.8 m/s²])
= tan⁻¹((179.8281 m²/s)²/[2090.928 m²/s²])
= tan⁻¹(0.086)
= 4.92°
