A designer of racetrack is appointed on moon for a car race. He has to design a 1.5 km diameter circular racetrack assuming a speed of 240 km/hr for the type of cars used. If everything else is to stay the same in the design, by how many degrees with respect to the horizontal, designers will have to change the angle at which the track is banked on the moon as compared to the banking angle on earth ? The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.62 m/s2.
