Questions  

A car moves uniformly along a horizontal sine curve y=a sin (xα) , where a and α are certain constants. The coefficient of friction between the wheels and the road is equal to k. The maximum constant speed at which the car can travel without sliding is

a
αkga
b
-αkga
c
kgαa
d
-kgαa

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The radius of curvature is f≤f2 or f≤kmg Or mv2R≤kmg or v2R≤kg∴vmax2Rmin=kg∴vmax=kg⁡Rminxa=π2∴Rmin=α2a ( from equ (i))vmax=kgα2a=αkga
