Skidding of Vehicle on A Level Road
Category : JEE Main & Advanced
When a vehicle takes a turn on a circular path it requires centripetal force.
If friction provides this centripetal force then vehicle can move in circular path safely i.e.,
Friction force \[\ge \] Required centripetal force
\[\mu \,mg\ge \frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\]
\[\therefore \] \[{{v}_{safe}}\le \sqrt{\mu rg}\]
This is the maximum speed by which vehicle can take a turn on a circular path of radius r, where coefficient of friction between the road and tyre is \[\mu \].
