Circular motion in horizontal plane

Question

A car is moving on a circular path and takes a tum. If R₁ and R₂ be the reactions on the inner and outer
wheels respectively, then

Moderate

A

R₁ = R₂
B

R₁ < R₂
C

R₁ > R₂
D

R₁ $\geq$ R₂

Solution

The centrifugal force radially outward) acting at the combined centre of mass of the car and passenger tries to topple the car about the outer wheels . As a result reaction of ground on the outer wheels increases and that on the inner wheels decreases.
