Answer :
Answer:
Centripetal force = 634.6 newton
Explanation:
Given that,
Weight of the automobile, M = 125 Kg
The tangential speed of the automobile, V = 48 Km/h
V = 13.33 m/s
The radius of the circular road, R = 35 m
The centripetal force is given by the relation
Fc = MV²/R
Where M - the mass of the body
V - velocity of the body
R - Radius of its trajectory
Substituting in the above equation
Fc = 125 Kg x 13.33² m²/s² / 35 m
= 22211.11 / 35 newton
= 634.6 newton
Hence, the centripetal force acting on the automobile is 634.6 N
