merge

Suggest merging this article, cant (road/rail) and cant deficiency into one article "Banking / Cant (engineering)"

FengRail (talk) 21:27, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There has been no support for the proposed merger between these articles, and the editor who proposed it has not been active at WP since just after the proposals were made. Hence it may be safely said that this merge proposal is now dead.

There is a separate proposal to merge cant deficiency into cant (road/rail). (See Talk:cant deficiency if you wish to participate.)

However, there currently exists four separate articles that cover this topic: Banked turn, Cant (road/rail), Cant deficiency, and Cross slope. Even Camber angle chimes in. The fact that banked turn discusses both ground-based and aerial maneuvers only suggests that that article should be split. A similar argument can be made about Cant (road/rail). The fact that the editor who proposed the merge has not been active should have nothing to do with it. I suggest we either put everything in one article with separate sections for rail, road, and aerial, or separate the topic into three articles along those same lines. -AndrewDressel (talk) 14:06, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Banked_turn.png

The figure banked_turn.png is incorrect and should be removed or corrected. First, the figure shows both a centripetal and a centrifugal force acting on the same body, which cannot happen in any frame of reference. Second, the "vector sum of body forces" is shown as the resultant of the weight and the centrifugal force, and shown to be equal and opposite to the lift (and generally downward, which is obviously false). The only real forces acting on a plane are the weight and the lift, the latter larger by cos theta, and their resultant is the the centripetal force, directed horizontally. This figure could be corrected if the pink and red arrows were removed, and the yellow arrow shown as the sum of the green and blue.--74.104.101.121 (talk) 03:08, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
