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)b)/(Rg)`

B

`(v)/(Rgb)`

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For safe turning
`tantheta=(v^(2))/(gr)rArr(h)/(b)=(v^(2))/(gR)rArrh=(v^(2)b)/(Rg)`
