Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

Correct option is

B

R

1

<R

2

The weight Mg of the car acts vertically decreases through the center of gravity G of the car

∴R

1

+R

2

=Mg

and the horizontal force F provides the centripetal force for motion in a circle

∴F=

r

mv

2

Taking moments about G, there should be no resultant turning effect about the center of gravity

Fh+R

1

a=R

2

a

∴R

2

=

a

Fh+R

1

a

or,R

2

=R

1

+(

a

Fh

)

⇒R

2

>R
