A roadway is designed for traffic moving at a speed of 66 m/s. A curved section of the roadway is in the shape of a circular arc of 290-m radius. This section of roadway is banked so that a vehicle traveling at 66 m/s will experience no net lateral acceleration. What is the angle at which the roadway is banked?

Angle of banking is given by,

theta = tan^-1 (v^2/rg)

plugging values of r, g and v you will get,

theta = tan^-1 (1.5327)
