    • 3 Questions around this concept.

    Solve by difficulty

    A cyclist goes on a round a circular path with constant speed with 30m/s . If the radius of the path is 90m then the angle made by him with vertical will be:

     

    A cyclist is moving with a velocity 20m/s. if he wants to take a circular turn of radius 40 m then for his safe turn what should be the value of angle made by the cyclist with vertical $\left(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\right)$

    Direction :   In the following question, a statement of Assertion ( A ) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as 

    Assertion : When the turning cycle doubles his speed,  then his chances of skidding becomes four times.

    Reason : When the speed of vehicle increases, the angle of bending also increases .

    Bending a Cyclist

    From figure.

    $
    R \sin \theta=\frac{m v^2}{r}
    $


    $
    R \cos \theta=m g
    $


    $
    \begin{aligned}
    & \text { (i) \& (ii) } \\
    & \tan \theta=\frac{v^2}{r g} \\
    & \theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{v^2}{r g}\right) \\
    & \mathrm{V}=\text { velocity } \\
    & \mathrm{r}=\text { radius of track } \\
    & \theta=\text { angle with which cycle leans }
