The relation `tan theta = v^(2)// r g` gives the angle of banking of the cyclist going round the curve . Here `v` is the speed of the cyclist , `r` is the radius of the curve , and `g` is the acceleration due to gravity . Which of the following statements about the relation is true ?

A

both dimensionally and numerically correct

B

neithen numerically not dimensionally correct

C

dimensionally correct only

D

numerically correct only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Given equation is dimension correct because both sides are dimensionaless but numerically wrong because the correct equation is `tan theta = (v^(2))/(rg)`
