Normal reaction in banked road circular motion

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 5470958, member: 334404"] Centripetal force is a resultant force, not an applied force. It is the component of the resultant that is normal to the direction of travel. Where the speed is constant, that makes it the entire resultant: ΣF[SUB]other[/SUB]=F[SUB]centripetal[/SUB]. Centrifugal force is a fictional force, but is an applied force, not a resultant: ΣF[SUB]other[/SUB]+F[SUB]centrifugal[/SUB]=0. Since centripetal and centrifugal are equal and opposite, the equations are the same. The vehicle is describing a circle in a horizontal plane. The centre of that motion is therefore in that plane, not down the bottom of the slope. [/QUOTE]
