A car is negotiating a curved road of radius \(R.\) The road is banked at angle \(\theta.\) The coefficient of friction between the tyres of the car and the road is \(\mu_s.\) The maximum safe velocity on this road is:

1. \(\sqrt{gR \left(\dfrac{\mu_{s} + \tanθ}{1 - \mu_{s} \tanθ}\right)} \)

2. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{R} \left(\dfrac{\mu_{s} + \tanθ}{1 - \mu_{s} \tanθ}\right)}\)

3. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{R^{2}} \left(\dfrac{\mu_{s} + \tanθ}{1 - \mu_{s} \tanθ}\right)} \)

4. \(\sqrt{gR^2 \left(\dfrac{\mu_{s} + \tanθ}{1 - \mu_{s} \tanθ}\right)}\)

A car is negotiating a curved road of radius \(R\). The road is banked at an angle \(\theta\). The coefficient of friction between the tyre of the car and the road is \(\mu_s\). The maximum safe velocity on this road is:

1. \(\sqrt{\operatorname{gR}\left(\dfrac{\mu_{\mathrm{s}}+\tan \theta}{1-\mu_{\mathrm{s}} \tan \theta}\right)}\) 2. \(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{R}}\left(\dfrac{\mu_{\mathrm{s}}+\tan \theta}{1-\mu_{\mathrm{s}} \tan \theta}\right)}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{R}^2}\left(\dfrac{\mu_{\mathrm{s}}+\tan \theta}{1-\mu_{\operatorname{s}} \tan \theta}\right)}\) 4. \(\sqrt{\mathrm{gR}^2\left(\dfrac{\mu_{\mathrm{s}}+\tan \theta}{1-\mu_{\mathrm{s}} \tan \theta}\right)}\)
