A motor cyclist moving with a velocity of 72 km/hour on a flat road takes a turn on the road at a point where the radius of curvature of the road is 20 meters . The acceleration due to gravity is `10m//sec^(2)`. In order to avoid skidding, he must not bend with respect to the vertical plane by an angle greater than

A

`tan=tan^(-1)6`

B

`theta=tan^(-1)2`

C

`theta=tan^(-1)25.92`

D

`theta=tan^(-1)4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`tan theta=(v^(2))/(rg)=((72xx1000)/(3600))^(2)//20xx10=2`
