    A vehicle is going on a circular track of radius \[r\]. The acceleration is \[a=\frac{dv}{dt}\]. The frictional coefficient between road and tyre is\[\mu \]. The speed at which the car will skid, is

    A)  \[{{\left[ \frac{{{\mu }^{2}}{{g}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}}{{{r}^{2}}} \right]}^{\frac{1}{2}}}\]             

    B)  \[{{\left[ \frac{\mu g-a}{3r} \right]}^{\frac{1}{2}}}\]

    C)  \[{{[({{\mu }^{2}}{{g}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}){{r}^{2}}]}^{\frac{1}{4}}}\] 

    D)  \[{{\left[ \frac{{{\mu }^{4}}{{g}^{2}}-{{a}^{4}}}{{{r}^{2}}} \right]}^{\frac{1}{4}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    The centripetal acceleration \[{{a}_{c}}=\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{r},\]where \[v=\]speed in a direction and tangential acceleration (as there is non uniform circular motion) \[{{a}_{t}}=\frac{dv}{dt}=a\] The resultant acceleration is \[{{a}_{R}}=\sqrt{a_{c}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}=\sqrt{{{\left( \frac{{{v}^{2}}}{r} \right)}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}\] Thus force on the vehicle \[F=m\,{{a}_{R}}=m\sqrt{{{\left( \frac{{{v}^{2}}}{r} \right)}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}\] At the condition when vehicle will skid \[F=\text{friction}\,=f\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[m\sqrt{{{\left( \frac{{{v}^{2}}}{r} \right)}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}=\mu \,mg\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[v={{[({{\mu }^{2}}{{g}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}}){{r}^{2}}]}^{1/4}}\]
