A car of mass m is moving on a level circular track of radius R. If s represents the coefficient of static friction between the road and tyres of the car, the maximum speed of the car in circular motion is given by
- s mRg
- Rg s
- mRg s
- s Rg
Answer
(4) s Rg
Solution
On a level road, the static friction provides the centripetal force:
mv2R s N = s mg
v = s Rg
Answer: (4)
