The radius of the curved road on a national highway is `R`. The width of the road is `b`. The outer edge of the road is raised by `h` with respect to the inner edge so that a car with velocity `v` can pass safe over it. The value of `h` is

A

`(v^(2)xxR )/(g)`

B

`(v^(2)b)/(R)`

C

`(v^(2))b/(Rg)`

D

`(v)/(Rgb)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`v^(2)="rg" tan theta and sin theta =(h)/(l)`
`therefore h=(v^(2)b)/(Rg)`
