4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
normal
A road is $10\, m$ wide. Its radius of curvature is $50\, m$. The outer edge is above the lower edge by a distance of $1.5\, m$. this road is most suited for the velocity ........ $m/s$
A
$2.5$
B
$4.5$
C
$6.5$
D
$8.5$
Solution
$\tan \theta=\frac{1.5}{10}=0.15$
$\tan \theta=\frac{\mathrm{v}^{2}}{\mathrm{rg}} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{v}=\sqrt{\mathrm{rg} \tan \theta}$
$=\sqrt{50 \times 9.8 \times 0.15}=8 .57 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
