Question
Assertion : When an automobile while going too fast around a curve overturns, its inner wheels leave the ground first.
Reason : For a safe turn the velocity of automobile should be less than the value of safe limit velocity.

Answer

(b) When automobile moves in circular path then reaction on inner wheel and outer wheel will be different.$R_{\text {inner }}=\frac{M}{2}\left[g-\frac{v^2 h}{r a}\right]$ and $R_{\text {outer }}=\frac{M}{2}\left[g+\frac{v^2 h}{r a}\right]$ In critical condition $v_{\text {safe }}=\sqrt{\frac{g r a}{h}}$If $v$ is equal or more that thus critical value then reaction on inner wheel becomes zero. So it leaves the ground first.
