A balloon is moving up in air vertically above a point A on the ground. When it is at a height h_1 , a girl standing at a distance (point B) from A (see figure) sees it at an angle 45^@ with respect to the vertical. When the balloon climbs up a further height h_2 , it is seen at an angle 60^@ 2with respect to the vertical if the girl moves further by a distance 2.464d (point C). Then the height h_2 is (give tan 30^@ = 0.5774 )

A car moves with speed v on a horizontal circular track of radius R . A head-on view of the car is shown in figure. The height of the car's centre of mass above the ground h , and the separation between its inner and outer wheel, is d . The road is dry, and the car does not skid. Show that the maximum speed the car can have without overturning is given by v_(max)=sqrt((gRd)/(2h)) . To reduce the risk of rollover, should one increase or decrease h ? Should one increase or decrease the width d of the wheel base?
