    Upper panel: Ball on a banked circular track moving with constant speed ; Lower panel: Forces on the ball.The resultant or net force on the ball found by vector addition of the normal force exerted by the road and vertical force due to gravity must equal the required force for centripetal acceleration dictated by the need to travel a circular path.

  4. Ring road - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_road

    A ring road (also known as circular road, beltline, beltway, circumferential (high)way, loop or orbital) is a road or a series of connected roads encircling a town, city or country. The most common purpose of a ring road is to assist in reducing traffic volumes in the urban centre, such as by offering an alternate route around the city for ...

  5. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    The upper panel in the image at right shows a ball in circular motion on a banked curve. The curve is banked at an angle θ from the horizontal, and the surface of the road is considered to be slippery. The objective is to find what angle the bank must have so the ball does not slide off the road. [14]

  8. Road curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_curve

    Curvy road in through swamps in Florida. Road curves are irregular bends in roads to bring a gradual change of direction. Similar curves are on railways and canals. Curves provided in the horizontal plane are known as horizontal curves and are generally circular or parabolic. Curves provided in the vertical plane are known as vertical curve.
