Radius of the curved road on national high

Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

Radius of the curved road on national highway is $R$. Width of the road is $b$. The outer edge of the road is raised by $h$ with respect to inner edge so that a car with velocity $v$ can pass safe over it. The value of $h$ is

A

$\frac{{{v^2}b}}{{Rg}}$

B

$\frac{v}{{Rgb}}$

C

$\frac{{{v^2}R}}{g}$

D

$\frac{{{v^2}b}}{R}$

Radius of the curved road on national highway is $R$. Width of the road is $b$. The outer edge of the road is raised by $h$ with respect to inner edge so that a car with velocity $v$ can pass safe over it. The value of $h$ is

We know that $\tan \theta = \frac{{{v^2}}}{{Rg}}$ and $\tan \theta = \frac{h}{b}$

Hence $\frac{h}{b} = \frac{{{v^2}}}{{Rg}}$

$⇒$ $h = \frac{{{v^2}b}}{{Rg}}$
