Skidding of Vehicle on a Level Road is considered one of the most asked concept.
6 Questions around this concept.
Consider a circular levelled road of radius having a coefficient of static friction of 0.81. Three cars (A, B and C) are travelling at speeds of 7 m/s, 8 m/s and 10 m/s respectively. Which car will skid when it moves on the circular level road?

For the above figure which is frictional force?

Frictional force $\geq$ Req. centripetal Force
$$
\begin{aligned}
\mu m g & \geq \frac{m v^2}{r} \\
V_{\text {safe }} & \leq \sqrt{\mu r g} \\
V_{\text {safe }} & =\text { Safe vector move }
\end{aligned}
$$
$r=$ radius of the curve
$\mu=$ coefficient of friction
- $V_{\text {safe }}$ is the maximum velocity by which a vehicle can turn on a circular path of radius r.
