The path followed by a motorcycle round a circular racetrack is modelled as a horizontal circle of radius . The track is banked at an angle to the horizontal, where . The motorcycle travels round the track at constant speed.
The motorcycle is modelled as a particle and air resistance can be ignored.
In an initial model it is assumed that there is no sideways friction between the motorcycle tyres and the track.
Using this model,
(a) find the speed, in , of the motorcycle.
In a refined model it is assumed that there is sideways friction.
The coefficient of friction between the motorcycle tyres and the track is
It is still assumed that air resistance can be ignored and that the motorcycle is modelled as a particle.
The motorcycle’s path is unchanged.
Using this model,
(b) find the maximum speed, in , at which the motorcycle can travel without slipping sideways.

Resolve down the bank, towards the inner edge of the track. The normal reaction has no component in this direction, while the horizontal inward acceleration has component . Hence
Therefore

最大速率时,车有沿坡向上侧滑的趋势,所以摩擦沿坡向下,并达到极限值。这里的支持力与第(a)问不同,必须重新设未知量。

At the maximum speed , friction acts down the bank. Let the new normal reaction be , and let the limiting friction be . Then
There is no vertical acceleration, so
The horizontal resultant acts towards the centre:
Substitute , and :
Thus
Consequently,
