Question
The road in the example $14$ above is constructed as per the requirements. The coefficient of static friction between the tyres of a vehicle on this road is $0.8,$ will there be any lower speed limit? By how much can the upper speed limit exceed in this case?
\text

Answer

Data: $r=72 m , \theta=78^{\circ} 4^{\prime}, \mu_{ s }=0.8, g =10 m / s ^2 \tan \theta=\tan 78^{\circ} 4^{\prime}=5$
$v_{\min }=\sqrt{r g\left(\frac{\tan \theta-\mu_{ s }}{1+\mu_{ s } \tan \theta}\right)}$
$ = \sqrt{(72)(10)\left(\frac{5-0.8}{1+(0.8)(5)}\right)}$
$=\sqrt{720 \times \frac{4.2}{5}}=\sqrt{144 \times 4.2}=12 \times 2.049$
$=24.588 m / s =88.52 km / h $
This will be the lower limit or minimum speed on this track.
Since the track is heavily banked, $\theta>45^{\circ}$, there is no upper limit or maximum speed on this track.

In Young's double-slit experiment using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 microns is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the slits-to-screen distance is doubled. It is found that the distance between successive maxima now is the same as the observed fringe shift with the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used.
