  1. A car is negotiating a curved road of radius R. The road is banked at an angle θ. the coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the road is µs. The maximum safe velocity on this road is :
    1. gR²
      μs + tan θ
      1 - μs tan θ
    2. gR
      μs + tan θ
      1 - μs tan θ
    3. g
      μs + tan θ
      R1 - μ2 tan θ
    4. g
      μs + tan θ
      1 - μs tan θ

Correct Option: B

On a banked road,

Vmax²
=
μs + tanθ
Rg1 - μs tanθ

Maximum safe velocity of a car on the banked road
Vmax = √ Rg
μs + tanθ
1 - μs + tanθ
