What is the smallest radius of a circle ...

What is the smallest radius of a circle at which a cyclist can travel if its speed is `36 kmh^(-1)` , angle of inclination is `45^(@) and g = 10 ms^(-2)`

A

20 m

B

10 m

C

30 m

D

40 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

From `tan theta =(v^(2))/(rg) rArr r = (v^(2))/(g tan theta) rArr r = (v^(2))/( g tan theta) =(10 xx 10)/(10 xx tan 45^(@)) = 10` m
