    If a car is to travel with a speed v along a frictionless, banked circular track of radius r, the required angle of banking so that the car does skid, is

    A) \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{{{v}^{2}}}{rg} \right)\]                             

    B) \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{v}{rg} \right)\]

    C) \[\theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{{{r}^{2}}}{vg} \right)\]                             

    D) \[\theta <{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{{{v}^{2}}}{vg} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The maximum permissible speed for a vehicle so, that it does not skid \[{{v}_{\max }}=\sqrt{\mu rg}\] \[=\sqrt{rg\,\tan \theta }\] So, the vehicle will skid, if\[\theta <{{\tan }^{-1}}\left[ \frac{{{v}^{2}}}{rg} \right]\]
