Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 318

Question: A cyclist riding the bicycle at a speed of $ 14\sqrt{3} $ ms?1 takes a turn around a circular road of radius $ 20\sqrt{3} $ m without skidding.Given g = 9.8 ms?2, what is his inclination to the vertical

Options:

A) $ 30^{o} $ B) $ 90^{o} $ C) 45 o D) $ 60^{o} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \theta ={{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{v^{2}}{rg} )={{\tan }^{-1}}[ \frac{{{(14\sqrt{3})}^{2}}}{20\sqrt{3}\times 9.8} ]={{\tan }^{-1}}[\sqrt{3}] $
