Skidding occurs when the maximum frictional force of a flat road on a car is

a
less than centripetal force required
b
more than centripetal force required
c
equal to centripetal force required
d
independent of centripetal force

detailed solution

Correct option is A

When a car moves along a curved path , friction between road surface and tyres of wheel , provides the necessary centripetal force.If this friction force is less than the maximum friction force , then the car cannot move along the curved road and it skids on the road.
