Dynamics of uniform and non uniform circular motion
Question

Two cars A and B start racing at the same time on a flat race track which consists of two straight sections each of length 100 π and one circular section as in Fig. The rule of the race is that each car must travel at constant speed at all times without ever skidding. The ratio of time taken by car A to car B is

 

Moderate
Solution

 For max. speed mvmax2R=μmgvmax=μgR

      vA=0.1×10×100     ,                 vB=0.2×10×200          =10m/sec                 ,                      =20m/sec      sA=2×100π+100π=300πm,          sB=2×100π+200π=400πm,So, tA=30π sec.                                            So, tB=20πsec
