Given information

Given:

The radius of a curve is  

The car traveling speed is   

The curve is properly banked for a car traveling speed  

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
At, we'll first compute the banking angle for the frictionless turn. The normal force in this example balances the gravitational force in the vertical direction while also providing the requisite centrifugal force towards the curve's center.
Therefore,
 
When we divide these two equations, we get
 
This benefits the banking aspect.
