A motorcycle of mass 100kg moves round in a circle of radius 10m with a velocity of 5 ms-1. find the coefficient of friction between the road and the tyres.
A
25.00
B
2.50
C
0.50
D
0.25
correct option: d
F = (mv)2/r = (100 x 5)2 = 250N
R = mg = 100 x 10 - 1000N
coefficient of friction,
µ = (F)/R = (250)/1000 = 0.25
