Definition: This calculator determines the angle of banking (\( \theta \)) required for a vehicle to turn safely based on turning radius, velocity, friction coefficient, and gravity.
Purpose: It assists engineers and drivers in designing and navigating curved roads or tracks.
The calculator uses the relationship:
Where:
Explanation: Enter turning radius, velocity, friction coefficient, and gravity in the chosen units, and the calculator computes the banking angle.
Details: The banking angle ensures safe turning by counteracting centrifugal force, critical for road design and vehicle dynamics.
Tips: Enter positive values for turning radius, velocity, friction coefficient, and gravity, then click "Calculate." Results show the banking angle in degrees (to 5 decimal places, or scientific notation if less than 0.0001).
