    A car is traveling along a curved road of radius r. If die coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is \[\mu \], the car will skid if its speed exceeds

    A)                  \[2\sqrt{\mu rg}\]                                         

    B)                  \[3\sqrt{\mu rg}\]

    C)                  \[\sqrt{2\mu rg}\]                                         

    D)                  \[\sqrt{\mu rg}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     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, if Friction force \[\ge \] Required centripetal force                 \[\mu mg\ge \frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{r}\]                 \[{{v}_{safe}}\ge \sqrt{\mu rg}\]
