Under what condion will a car skid on a leveled circular road ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The coefficient of static friction between the tyre and the surface of the road determines the maximum speed of the car. So that it can have a safe turn.
`mu_(s ) gt (v^(2))/( rg ) ("skid")`
If the static friction is not able to provide enough centripetal force to turn the vehicle will start to skid.

The velocity of a car for safe turn on leveled circular road

Derive an expression for maximum speed the car can have safe turn on a leveled circular road .

Consider a circular leveled road of radius 10 m having coefficient of static friction 0.81. Three cars (A, B and C) are travelling with speed 7 ms^(-1), 8 ms^(-1) " and " 10 ms^(-1) respectively, which car will skid when it moves in the circular level road? (g=10ms^(-2)) :
