To minimize the “centrifugal effects” on bends, major roads are usually constructed with super-elevation (or camber) as shown in the figure below. If the camber’s slope is 4 degrees and the radius of curvature of the bend is 300 m, determine the speed (in m/s) of the vehicle at which no lateral force (tangential to the slope) is needed to maintain the vehicle’s path around the bend.
