a circular race track of radius 300 m is banked at an angle of 150. if the coefficient of friction between the wheels of a race car and the road is 0.2 , what is the (i) optimum speed of the race car to avoid wear and tear on its tyres (ii) maximum permissible speed to avoid slipping ?

plz experts help me out..............

(1)

The optimum speed of the racing car is given as

vo = [Rgtanθ]1/2

here,

R = 300m

θ = 15o

so,

vo = 300 x 10 x tan15

thus,

vo = 28.06 m/s

..

(2)

The maximum permissible speed is given as

here,

μ = 0.2

so,

thus, we get

vm = 38.13 m/s
