Skidding of Vehicle on a Level Road is considered one of the most asked concept.
2 Questions around this concept.
A car is moving on a horizontal curved road with radius 50 m. The approximate maximum speed of car will be, if friction between tyres and road is 0.34.
[take g = 10 ms−2]
$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Frictional force } \geq \text { Req. centripetal Force } \\
& \mu m g \geq \frac{m v^2}{r} \\
& V_{\text {safe }} \leq \sqrt{\mu r g} \\
& V_{\text {safe }}=\text { Safe vector move } \\
& \mathrm{r}=\text { radius of the curve } \\
& \mu=\text { coefficient of friction }
\end{aligned}
$
- $V_{s a f e}$ is the maximum velocity by which vehicle can turn on a circular path of radius $r$.
