A car of mass \(1500 \mathrm{~kg}\) is moving with a speed of \(12.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) on a circular path of radius \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) on a level road. What should be the coefficient of friction between the car and the road, so that the car does not slip?

  1. A \(0.2\)
  2. B \(0.4\)
  3. C \(0.6\)
  4. D \(0.8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In this case centripetal force provides by friction
\(\therefore\) \(\frac{m v^{2}}{r}=\mu m g\)
i. \(e\),
\(\mu=\frac{v^{2}}{r g}\)
\(\mu=\frac{12.5 \times 12.5}{20 \times 9.8}=0.8\)
