Physics Question on Uniform Circular Motion

A car is moving with a constant speed of 20m/s20\, m / s in a circular horizontal track of radius 40m40\, m A bob is suspended from the roof of the car by a massless string The angle made by the string with the vertical will be : (Take g=10m/s2g=10 \, m / s ^2 )

A

π6\frac{\pi}{6}

B

π2\frac{\pi}{2}

C

π4\frac{\pi}{4}

D

π3\frac{\pi}{3}

Answer

π4\frac{\pi}{4}

Explanation

Solution

A car is moving with a constant speed of 20m/s in a circular horizontal track of radius 40m

Tsinθ=Rml2​
tanθ=Rgv2​
tanθ=40×10202​
tanθ=1
⇒θ=4π​
