Q67 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

A vehicle of mass 200 kg is moving along a levelled curved road of radius 70 m with angular velocity of 0.2 rad s-1. The centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    560 N
  • B
    2800 N
  • C
    2240 N
  • D
    14 N

Solution

The centripetal force is given by 

F=Mv2R=MRω2

The given data is 

M=200 kgR=70 mω=0.2 rad s-1

The magnitude of the force is 

F=200×70×0.22 N

⇒F=560 N

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
