I'm not quite sure why everyone is assuming that sliding down the
the inclined plane is static? The difference is that in sliding
along a frictionless inclined plane the net force (& therefore the
acceleration) is paralle to the surface of the plane while in going
around (an assumed frictionless) banked turn at the design speed the
net force is horizontal, towards the center of the horizontal circle
that is the path of the object.
