A scooter weighing 150 kg together with its rider moving at 36 km/hr is to take a turn of radius 30 m. What horizontal force on the scooter is needed to make the turn possible?If the horizontal force needed for the turn in the previous problem is to be supplied by the normal force by the road what should be the proper angle of banking?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
IN the diagram
`Rcostheta=mg`…i
`Rsintheta=((Mv^2)/r)`……..ii
Dividing equation i with equation ii we get,
`tantheta =((mv^2)/(rmg))=v^2/(rg)`
Here `v=36 km/hr=10 m/sec, r=30m`
`:. Tanthete= v^2/(rg)=100/(30xx10)=(1/3)`
`rarr thetat=tan^-1 (1/3)`

A car P is moving with a uniform speed 5sqrt3 m//s towards a carriage of mass 9 kg at rest kept on the rails at a point B as shown in figure. The height AC is 120 m. Cannon balls of 1 kg are fired from the car with an initial velocity 100m//s at an angle 30^@ with the horizontal. The first cannon hall hits the stationary carriage after a time t_0 and sticks to it. Determine t_0 . At t_0 , the second cannon ball is fired. Assume that the resistive force between the rails and the carriage is constant and ignore the vertical motion of the carriage throughout. If the second ball also hits and sticks to the carriage, what will be the horizontal velocity of the carriage just after the second impact?
