Question 1

If a car with a mass of 1500 kg travels around a curve of radius 250 m at a speed of 80 km/h, calculate the forces acting on the car, including super-elevation.

💡 Hint: Use f = mv²/r for centrifugal force.

Question 2

Determine the length of a transition curve given a super-elevation of 0.08 and a speed of 90 km/hr.

💡 Hint: Express speed in m/s and consider the curve radius.
