The distance between the inner and outer wheels of a car is 1.75 m and its centre of gravity is 0-50 m above the ground. What is the maximum speed with which the car can negotiate a curve of radius of 40 m without overturning ?

Answer»

Solution : Distance between the inner and outer wheels of CAR = 2s = 1 -75 m
Height of the C.G of the car from the ground = `h=0.5 m`
Maximum SPEED = `v_("MAX") = ?`
RADIUS of the circular road = r= 40 m
`v_("max") = sqrt((gsr)/h) = sqrt((9.8 xx 0.875 xx 40)/0.5)`
= 26.2 m/s
