An unbanked circular highway curve on the level ground makes a turn of 90 ° . The highway carries traffic at 108 km h - 1 , and the centripetal force on a vehicle is not to exceed 1 1 0 of its weight. What is the approximate minimum length of the curve, in km?
Options
- A1 . 41   km
- B1   km
- C0 . 6   km
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. 1 . 41   km
Step-by-step solution
m v 2 R = m g 1 0 R = 1 0 v 2 g = 108 × 5 1 8 2 = 9 0 0   m , Length π R 2 = 1.413 km
