A vehicle is moving with a speed v on a curved smooth road of width b and radius R. For counteracting the centrifugal force on the vehicle, the difference in elevation required in between the outer and inner edges of the road is vb2RgvbRgvbR2gv2bRg

tan θ =v2Rg⇒hb=v2Rg⇒h=v2bRg.

tan $θ$ $= \frac{v^{2}}{R g} \Rightarrow \frac{h}{b} = \frac{v^{2}}{R g} \Rightarrow h = \frac{v^{2} b}{R g}$ .
