Question

A car is moving with uniform speed over a circular bridge of radius R which subtends an angle of $90^{0}$ at its centre. Find the minimum possible speed so that the car can cross the bridge without losing the contact any where.

Solution

$∴ F_{e} = m g \frac{m V_{m a x}^{2}}{R} = m g V_{m a x} = \sqrt{g R}$
