What is the proper banking angle for an Olympic bobsled to negotiate a 100-m radius turn at 35 m/s without skidding? Draw the FBD of the bobsled and derive your solution from Newton’s Second Law.
Refer the below FBD and Force diagram.
Horizontal Component : While the centrifugal force is balanced by the sin component of normal reaction
.......... Eqn (1)
Vertical Component : The weight of the component is balanced by the cos component of normal reaction
........... Eqn (2)
