$A$ person is driving a vehicle at a uniform speed of $5 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ on a level curved track of radius $5 \text{ m}$. The coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the road is $0.1$. Will the person slip while taking the turn with the same speed? (Take $g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)

  • A
    $A$ person will slip if $v^2 = 5 \text{ ms}^{-1}$
  • B
    $A$ person will slip if $v^2 > 5 \text{ ms}^{-1}$
  • C
    $A$ person will slip if $v^2 < 5 \text{ ms}^{-1}$
  • D
    $A$ person will slip if $v^2 > 10 \text{ ms}^{-1}$
