The maximum speed that can be achieved without skidding by a car on a circular unbanked road of radius R and coefficient of static friction p is

A

`muRg`

B

`Rgsqrtmu`

C

`musqrtRg`

D

`sqrt(muRg)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The required centrepetal force is.provided by the frictional force between the road and the tyre(`mv^2)/R=mumg `or v=`(mv^2)/R=mumg `
