Question

It is dangerous for loaded vehicles to negotiate a curve in the road without reducing speed. What is the reason?

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Loaded vehicles possess more inertia of motion because of mass contain in it. When it take turn, direction of motion changes but its inertia will resist this changes and try to keep its motion in initial direction. So there is a chances to skid or toppling the vehicles on rod. To avoid such things, need to reduce speed.

Q2
The maximum speed with which a vehicle can negotiate a curved road, which is banked at the angle, θ=tan1(0.24) is 54 km/hr. If another road is flat and the vehicle has to negotiate a curve with the same maximum speed, coefficient of friction between road and tyre should be
