Figure shows a 11.7 ft wide ditch with the approach roads at and angle of `15^0` with the horizontal. With what minimum speed should a mororbike be moving on the road so that it safely croses the ditch?

Assume that the length of thebike is 5 ft, and it leaves the road when the front part runs out of the approch road.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Given Horizontal range,
`= 11.7+5`
= 16.7 ft covered by the bike
`g= 9.8m/s = 32.2 ft/s^2
Now, R= (u^2 sin2alpha)/g
`u^2`= (Rg)/(sin2alpha)= (16.7xx32.2)/(1/2)
`
u= 32 ft/s`

A 2-m wide truck is moving with a uniform speed v_(0)=8 m/s along a straight horizontal road. A pedestrian starts to cross the road with a uniform speed v when the truck is 4 m away from him, The minimum value of v so that he can cross the road safely is .

In the figure there is a long horizontal bridge over a river 75 m high from water surface. A strong man throws a stone in the parallel plane of the bridge. A observer in a car travelling on the bridge finds the stone going pass by the car while ascending and also while descending between two points on the road 30 m away. The car is travelling at a speed of 15 m/s. The stone is thrown from the bank of river just at the same level of water. What is the angle the velocity makes with the bridge when it goes past the car while ascending ?
