the wheels of the motorcycle. The force must have a tangential component in the direction of
motion in order to increase the velocity modulus and a normal component to the trajectory so
as to have a circular trajectory, so the force points into the concavity of the curve.
At a given moment we can draw the force 𝐹⃗ and velocity of motion 𝑣⃗, at point P, according to
the figure below.
𝑅 𝑣⃗
𝛽 α
𝐹⃗
Writing the equations of motion of the motorcycle, in the normal direction and tangent to the
trajectory, we obtain:
𝑑𝑣
𝑚 = 𝐹 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛼 (1)
𝑑𝑡
𝑣2
𝑚 𝑅
= 𝐹 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝛼 (2)
𝑑𝛽
The angular velocity is given by: 𝑣 = 𝜔𝑅 and 𝜔 =
𝑑𝑡
𝑑𝛽 𝑣 𝑑𝛽
𝑣= 𝑑𝑡
𝑅 ⇔ 𝑅
= 𝑑𝑡
so we have the relation:
𝑑𝛽 𝑑𝛼
2 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑑𝑡
, integrating thus:
Like the motorcyclist is taking off from rest, from equation (4), 𝛼 = 𝛽 = 0
2𝛽 = 𝛼 (5)
When the speed is maximum the normal component force to the trajectory is maximum to,
thus
𝜋 𝜋
𝑠𝑒𝑛𝛼 = 1 ⇔ 𝛼 = 2
from equation (5) 𝛽 = 4
𝜋
4 1 1
Like 2𝜋
= 8, so fraction of the track will be 8 = 0,125 or 12,5%.
