A 500 kg car takes a round turn of radius 50 m with a velocity of 36 km/hr. The centripetal force is
The correct option is B. 1000 N.
Given,
Mass = m=500 kg
Velocity of the car = v=36kmh=10ms
Radius of circular path = r=50 m
We know that,
Centripetal force = F=mv2r
where v = velocity of the body
m = mass of the body
r = radius of the circular path
⇒F=500×10×1050=1000 N.
