JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.2 friction

A car is moving with a constant speed of \(20\,m / s\) in a circular horizontal track of radius \(40\,m\). A bob is suspended from the roof of the car by a massless string. The angle made by the string with the vertical will be : (Take \(g =10\) \(\left.m / s ^2\right)\)

  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T \cos \theta= mg\) \(T \sin \theta=\frac{ mv ^2}{ R }\) \(\tan \theta=\frac{ v ^2}{ Rg }\) \(\tan \theta=\frac{20^2}{40 \times 10}\) \(\tan \theta=1\) \(\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}\)
