Question

A car moves at a constant speed on a road as shown in the figure. The normal force exerted by the road on the car is $N_{A}$ and $N_{B}$ when it is at the points $A$ and $B$ respectively

• A. $N_{A} = N_{B}$
• B. $N_{A} ⥂ > \mspace{6mu} N_{B}$
• C. $N_{A} ⥂ < \mspace{6mu} N_{B}$
• D. All possibilities are there

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$N_{A} ⥂ < \mspace{6mu} N_{B}$

Answer 2

From the formula $N = mg - \frac{mv^{2}}{r}$ ∴ N ∝ r

As r_A < r_B ∴ $N_{A} < N_{B}$
