Circular Motion 3

iv. Friction force is balanced by the weight.


V max = mg = F

iv. Weight of vehicle on a banked road is v. For body to remain pinned against wall of
balanced by the compoment N cos T and vertical drum
centrifugal force is balanced by the
PN = mg
component N sin T.

13. Bending of Cyclist on a flat Circular road :


Z=
i. A cyclist bends to compensate for the P
centrifugal force.
ii. Maximum safe velocity for the cyclist is
v=
V max = T P

where T = angle made by cyclist with the 16. Concept of a Convex bridge :
vetrical. i. A vehicle moving along a convex bridge
14. Safe velocity along flat circular road : has, normal reaction given as,

i. Along flat circular road, frictional force


balances the centrifugal force.
ii. Maximum safe velocity of a vertical is given
as,

V max = P

iii. Safe velocity is independent of mass of the


N = mg –
body in circular motion.
15. Concept of a Rotor : ii. A vehicle moving with maximum speed
i. A body performing horizontal circular along convex bridge has normal reaction
motion along a vertical drum. zero, i.e. N = 0,
ii. Also can be compared to a motorcylist
performing horizontal circular motion in a ? = mg
death well.
iii. Centrifugal force is balance by the normal V(max) =
reaction.
17. Concept of Conical Pendulum :
Consider a body of mass m is revolving in a
horizontal circle of radius r.
Tension (T) resolved into two mutually
perpendicular components.
i. T cos T which balances weight
? T cos T = mg
ii. T sin T which provides necessary
centripetal force
