Question

A car is moving on a circular path and takes a turn. if $R_1$ and $R_2$, be the reactions on the inner and outer wheels respectively, then

• A. $R_1$=$R_2$
• B. $R_1$<$R_2$
• C. $R_1$>{ R }_{ 2 }$
• D. $R_1$ $\ge$ $R_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $R_1$<$R_2$

we have,

$R_1$ is the reaction due to inner surface.

$R_2$ is the reaction due to outer surface.

$R_1$ is smaller than $R_2$ .

As outer surface covers larger distance than the inner surface.

Hence,

Option $B$ is correct answer.
