JEE Main & Advanced Physics NLM, Friction, Circular Motion Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Laws of Motion

  • question_answer
    A car is negotiating a curved road of radius R. The road is banked at an angle\[\theta \]. The coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the road is\[{{\mu }_{s}}\]. The maximum safe velocity on this road is:

    A) \[\sqrt{g{{R}^{2}}\frac{{{\mu }_{s}}+\tan \theta }{1-{{\mu }_{s}}\tan \theta }}\]

    B) \[\sqrt{gR\frac{{{\mu }_{s}}+\tan \theta }{1-{{\mu }_{s}}\tan \theta }}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{\frac{g}{R}\frac{{{\mu }_{s}}+\tan \theta }{1-{{\mu }_{s}}\tan \theta }}\]

    D) \[\sqrt{\frac{g}{{{R}^{2}}}\frac{{{\mu }_{s}}+\tan \theta }{1-{{\mu }_{s}}\tan \theta }}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] On a banked road, \[\frac{{{v}^{2}}\max }{Rg}=\left( \frac{{{\mu }_{s}}+\tan \theta }{1-{{\mu }_{s}}\tan \theta } \right)\] Maximum safe velocity of a car on the banked road \[{{V}_{\max }}=\sqrt{Rg\left[ \frac{{{\mu }_{s}}+\tan \theta }{1-{{\mu }_{s}}\tan \,\theta } \right]}\]
