Circular Motion on a Banked Surface

When a car is travelling on a banked surface, if it does not slip, this is due to the force of friction acting at the wheels. Suppose the car moves in a horizontal circle of radius r with a speed v. The forces acting on the car are shown in the diagram below.

Resolving vertically gives us (1)

Resolving horizontally gives us (2)
