Given:
Speed of vehicles = v = 36 km/hr = 10 m/s
Radius = r = 20 m
Coefficient of static friction = μ = 0.4
Let the road be banked with an angle θ. We have:
 θ=tan-1v2rg   =tan-110020×10   =tan-112 tanθ=0.5



When the car travels at the maximum speed, it slips upward and μN1 acts downward.
Therefore we have:
N1-mgcosθ-mv12rsinθ=0    ...iμN1+mgsinθ-mv12rcosθ=0    ...ii

On solving the above equations, we get:
v1=rgμ+tanθ1-μtanθ   =20×10×0.90.8   =15 m/s=54 km/hr

Answer:

When the bowl rotates at maximum angular speed, the block tends to slip upwards.
Also, the frictional force acts downward.
Here, we have:
Radius of the path that the block follow = r = Rsinθ
Let N1 be the normal reaction on the block and ω1 be the angular velocity after which the block will slip.
