In short, the two forces, the gravitational force and the force of friction, act in opposite directions and compensate each other, while the normal reaction from the wall is what keeps the bike moving.
Which force is used in well of death?
When you’re riding the Wall of Death the centrifugal force pushes you outwards and then friction holds you up. Imagine the wall was wet and slippery – you’d slide right down. That’s why it was very important that the wall was kept dry and free from dust and drops of oil.
What is well of death in physics?
Well of death is made up of wooden planks having dimensions of 22 to 30 feet (approximately) in radius. It is generally a barrel-shaped wooden cylinder that’s why it is known as the “well” of death. This is called well of “death” because it is having a lot of danger almost equal to death.
What is the formula of well of death?
Friction = μ x Normal force. Centripetal force provides normal force and is given by mv²/r, Here m is mass of motorcycle, v is velocity and r is radius of death well. ∴f = μmv²/r.
