If the normal reaction on the vehicle is half of its weight as it reaches highest point of convex road, then normal reaction on the vehicle as it reaches lowest point of concave road is:

A

twice weight of vehicle

B

thrice weight of vehicle

C

$1.5$ times weight of vehicle

D

$2$ times weight of vehicle

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is C)

In case of convex
$m g - N_{2} = \frac{m V ^{2}}{R} - (1)$

In case of concave
$N_{1} - m g = \frac{m V ^{2}}{R} - (2)$
Given $N_{2} = \frac{m g}{2}$
$∴ I n - (1), \frac{m g}{2} = \frac{m V ^{2}}{R}$
put it in - (2)
$N_{1} - m g = \frac{m g}{2}$
$N_{1} = \frac{3}{2} m g$
