प्रश्न
A racing car travels on a track (without banking) ABCDEFA (Figure). ABC is a circular arc of radius 2 R. CD and FA are straight paths of length R and DEF is a circular arc of radius R = 100 m. The co-efficient of friction on the road is µ = 0.1. The maximum speed of the car is 50 ms–1. Find the minimum time for completing one round.

उत्तर
Balancing frictional force for centripetal force = `(mv^2)/r` = f = μN = μmg
Where N is the normal reaction
∴ `v = sqrt(μrg)` ....(Where, r is radius of the circular track)
For path ABC, Path length = `3/4 (2π 2R) = 3π R = 3π xx 100`
= 300 πm
`v_1 = sqrt(μ2Rg) = sqrt(0.1 xx 2 xx 100 xx 10)`
= 14.14 m/s
∴ `t_1 = (300π)/(14.14)` = 66.6 s
For path DEF, Path length = `1/4 (2πR) = (π xx 100)/2` = 50π
`v_2 = sqrt(μRg) = sqrt(0.1 xx 100 xx 10)` = 10 m/s
`t_2 = (50π)/10` = 5π s = 15.7 s
For path, CD and FA
Path length = R + R = 2R = 200 m
`t_3 = 200/50` = 4.0 s
∴ Total time for completing one round t = t1 + t2 + t3 = 66.6 + 15.7 + 4.0 = 86.3 s

A disc revolves with a speed of `33 1/3` rev/min, and has a radius of 15 cm. Two coins are placed at 4 cm and 14 cm away from the centre of the record. If the co-efficient of friction between the coins and the record is 0.15, which of the coins will revolve with the record?
You may have seen in a circus a motorcyclist driving in vertical loops inside a ‘death-well’ (a hollow spherical chamber with holes, so the spectators can watch from outside). Explain clearly why the motorcyclist does not drop down when he is at the uppermost point, with no support from below. What is the minimum speed required at the uppermost position to perform a vertical loop if the radius of the chamber is 25 m?
