A car is travelling along a curved road ...

A car is travelling along a curved road of radius r. If the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is `mu` the car will skid if its speed exceeds .

A

`sqrt((mu g)/(r ))`

B

`sqrt(mu gr)`

C

`mu rg `

D

`(mu g)/(r )`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`F=(mv^(2))/(r )= mu mg " " therefore v= sqrt(mu g r)`
