MCQ
Find wrong statement
  • A
    A car moving over a convex bridge is lighter than the same car resting on the same bridge
  • A car moving over a convex bridge is heavier than the same car resting on the same bridge
  • C
    A car moving over a concave bridge is heavier than the same car resting on the same bridge
  • D
    The weight of the car changes due to the centrifugal force for above cases

Answer

Correct option: B.
A car moving over a convex bridge is heavier than the same car resting on the same bridge
b
For convex bridge

$\mathrm{Mg}-\mathrm{N}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}$

$\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{mg}-\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}$

$\mathrm{N}<\mathrm{mg}$

For concave bridge

$\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{mg}=\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}$

$\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{mg}+\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}$
