A cyclist is moving in a circular track ...

A cyclist is moving in a circular track of radius 80 m with a velocity v = 36 km/h. He has to lean from the vertical approximately through an angle: (Take g = `10 ms^(-2)`)

A

A)`tan ^(-1) (4)`

B

B)`tan ^(-1) ((1)/(8))`

C

C)`tan ^(-1) ((1)/(4))`

D

D)`tan ^(-1) (2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`tan theta = (v ^(2))/( rg)`
`implies theta = tan ^(-1) ((10 xx 10 )/( 80 xx 10)) `
`(because v = 36 xx (5)/(18) = 10 m//s)= tan ^(-1) ((1)/(8))`
