Find the maximum speed at which a car can take turn round a curve of 30 cm radius on a level road if the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.4. Take `g = 10 ms^(-2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here centripetal force is provided by friction so,
`(mv^(2))/(r)le mumg Rightarrow v_("max")=sqrt(murg)=sqrt(120)approx11ms^(-1)`
