If the road is unbanked and the coefficient of friction between the road and the tyres is 0.8, then the maximum speed with which an automobile can move around a curve of 84.5 m radius without slipping `(g=10ms^(-2))` is

A

`26ms^(-1)`

B

`67.6ms^(-1)`

C

`13ms^(-1)`

D

`36.7ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
