Detailed Solution

Given:

v=29 km/hr=29×10003600=8.1 ms-1 μs=0.32

The minimum radius of an unbanked track around which a bicyclist can move is given by the formula:

Rmin=v2μsg =8.120.32×10 =21 m

Therefore, the minimum radius of an unbanked track around which a bicyclist can move is 21m .

So option 1 is correct.
