On a horizontal curved road, the maximum safe speed of a vehicle to move along the road without overturning is
(where mu is the coefficient of friction)

A

`v=mu rg`

B

`v=sqrt( mu rg)`

C

`v=sqrt((mu)/(rg))`

D

`v=sqrt((rg)/(mu))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Centripetal force =Force of friction
`therefore (mv^(2))/(r)=mu mg`
` therefore v=sqrtmu r g`
