(e)
The depth of the underground provided is feasible or not.
(e)

Answer to Problem 25AP
No, the depth of the underground provided is not feasible.
Explanation of Solution
No the depth of the underground tunnel provided is not feasible as the total length covered by the car is increased due to which the loss of energy due to friction is increased a lot as compared to the case when the underground path was not there. The non-conventional forces on the car are increased due to the depth provided as the friction in the path of later
Conclusion:
Therefore, the depth of the underground provided is not feasible.
