The height of the centre of gravity of the truck above the ground is 1.5 m and the distance between the wheel is 1.5 m .If the maximum velocity at which a truck can safely tavel along the horizontal track withiout toppling on a curve of radius 250 m will be

A

`30 m//s`

B

`35 m//s`

C

`40 m//s`

D

`45 m//s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`v=sqrt((rgd)/(2h))`
`=sqrt((250xx10xx1.5)/(2xx1.5))=sqrt(1250)=35 m//s`
