What is the smallest radius of a curve on a horizontal road , at which a cyslist can travel if his speed is 36 km / hour and the angle of inclination is `45 ^(@)` ?(g =`10m//s^(2)`)

A

`25m`

B

`20m`

C

`15m`

D

`10m`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`tan theta = ( v^(2) )/( r g) `
` therefore r= ( v^(2))/(g tan theta ) = ( 10xx10)/(10xx tan 45^(@))= 10 m`
