The coefficient of friction between the Tyre and the ground is 0.11
Explanation:
Given:
Radius of the track (r)=125 m.
Speed with which the car travels (v) =42 km/hr
=11.67 m/s
To Find:
Coefficient of friction between the Tyre and the ground.
Formula to be used:
[tex]Centripetal\ force\ Fc= mv^2/r\\\\=m\times 11.67^2/125\\\\=1.08 m[/tex]
We know that,Frictional force is equal to centripetal force
Frictional force=μmg
therefore 1.08 m=μmg
Cancelling "m" on both sides we get,
μ=1.08/g=1.08/9.8
=0.11
Thus the coefficient of friction between the Tyre and the ground is 0.11
