The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the minimum and maximum speed of an automobile negotiating a banked turn, we can use the following formulas derived from the principles of circular motion and friction. ### Given: - Radius of the turn, \( R \) - Angle of banking, \( \theta = 45^\circ \) - Coefficient of friction, \( \mu = 1 \) ### Step 1: Calculate Minimum Speed (\( V_{min} \)) The formula for the minimum speed on a banked curve is given by: \[ V_{min}^2 = Rg \left( \tan \theta - \mu \right) \div \left( 1 + \mu \tan \theta \right) \] #### Substituting the values: - Since \( \theta = 45^\circ \), we have \( \tan 45^\circ = 1 \). - The coefficient of friction \( \mu = 1 \). Now substituting these values into the formula: \[ V_{min}^2 = Rg \left( 1 - 1 \right) \div \left( 1 + 1 \cdot 1 \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ V_{min}^2 = Rg \cdot 0 \div 2 = 0 \] Thus, \[ V_{min} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Step 2: Calculate Maximum Speed (\( V_{max} \)) The formula for the maximum speed on a banked curve is given by: \[ V_{max}^2 = Rg \left( \tan \theta + \mu \right) \div \left( 1 - \mu \tan \theta \right) \] #### Substituting the values: Using \( \tan 45^\circ = 1 \) and \( \mu = 1 \): \[ V_{max}^2 = Rg \left( 1 + 1 \right) \div \left( 1 - 1 \cdot 1 \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ V_{max}^2 = Rg \cdot 2 \div 0 \] Since division by zero is undefined, we conclude that: \[ V_{max} = \infty \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Results: - Minimum speed \( V_{min} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \) - Maximum speed \( V_{max} = \infty \, \text{m/s} \)
