Question

A fly-over bridge is a part of a vertical circle of radius 80 m and a vehicle is travelling on it. The vehicle does not leave the surface of bridge at its highest point, if maximum speed of vehicle is:

A
14 m/s
B
21 m/s
C
28 m/s
D
42 m/s
Solution
Verified by Toppr

For the vehicle not to leave the surface, it has to travel with critical velocity.
So, v=gR
=9.8×80
=784
or, v=28 ms1
