Find the maximum speed at which a car can turn round a curve of 36 m radius on a level road. Given the coefficient of friction between the tyre and the road is 0.53.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Radius of the curve r= 36 m
Coefficient of friction `mu` = 0.53
Acceleration due to gravity `g= 10 ms^(-2)`
`v_(max) = sqrt(mu rg) = sqrt( 0.53 xx 36 xx 10 ) = 13.81 ms^(-1)`

A car negotating a curved road of radius R. The road is banked at an angle theta . The coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the road is mu_0 . The maximum safe velocityb on this road is:

In the section 3.7.3 (Banking of road) we have not included the friction exerted by the road on the car. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the car tyre and the surface of the road is mu_s , calculate the minimum speed with which the car can take safe turn? When the car takes turn in the banked road, the following three forces act on the car. (1) The gravitational force mg acting downwards (2) The normal force N acting perpendicular to the surface of the road (3) The static frictional force f acting on the car along the surface.

In a rotor, a hollow vertical cylindrical structure rotates about its axis and a person rests against the inner wall. At a particular speed of the rotor, the floor below the person is removed and the person hangs resting against the wall without any floor. If the radius of the rotor is 2m and the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the person is 0.2, find the minimum speed at which the floor may be removed Take g=10 m/s^2 .
