Let a maximum acceleratin is produced in car
`ma-mu R`
(for more accelerations the tyres will slip)
`rarr ma =mu mg`
`rarr a=mu g=1xx10=10 m/s^2` Force crossing of the bridge in minimum time, it has to travel with maximum acceeleration.
u=0, S=500m, a=10m/s
`From S=ut+1/2 at^2`
`500=0+(1/2)10t^2`
`rarr t=sqrt100=10sec`

If acceleration is less than `10 m/s^2` timewill be more than 10 sec. So one can't drive throughthe bridge in less than 10 s.
