A car of mass \(m\) is moving on a level circular track of radius \(R\). If \(\mu_s\) represents the static friction between the road and tyres of the car, the maximum speed of the car in circular motion is given by:

1. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{Rg}{\mu_s} }\) 2. \(\sqrt{\dfrac{mRg}{\mu_s}}\)
3. \(\sqrt{\mu_s Rg}\) 4. \(\sqrt{\mu_s m Rg}\)

A curve in a level road has a radius of \(75\) m. The maximum speed of a car turning this curved road can be \(30\) m/s without skidding. If the radius of the curved road is changed to \(48\) m and the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road remains the same, then the maximum allowed speed would be:
1. \(12\) m/s
2. \(24\) m/s
3. \(32\) m/s
4. \(44\) m/s

A car is moving on a banked road with a radius \(R.\) If \(\theta\) is the banking angle and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity, which of the following expressions represents the optimum speed \(v,\) at which the car can navigate the turn without requiring friction?

1. \(v=\sqrt{Rg \mathrm{~tan \theta}}\) 2. \(v=\sqrt{Rg \mathrm{~sin \theta}}\)
3. \(v=\sqrt{Rg \mathrm{~cos \theta}}\) 4. \(v=\sqrt{Rg \mathrm{~cot \theta}}\)
