Railway tracks are banked on curves
Answer: C
So that the necessary centripetal force is obtained from the horizontal component of the normal reaction.
Banking tilts the reaction inward: \[\tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{rg}\] The rails then do not have to supply the force by pressing sideways on the flanges, which would cause wear and risk derailment.
