Questions  

A cyclist moves along a curved road with a velocity v. The road is banked for speed v. The angle of banking is θ .Which of the following statements in not true?

a
The cyclist will lean away from the vertical at an angle θ.
b
The normal reaction of the road will pass through the centre of gravity of the ‘cycle plus cyclist’ system
c
There will be no force of friction between the tyres and the road.
d
The cyclist is in equilibrium with respect to the ground.

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The plane in contact with the wheels of the cycle is perpendicular to the inclined plane.Normal reaction of the cyclist lies in this plane. Vertical component of this normal reaction is balanced by the weight of the cyclist and horizontal component provides the necessary centripetal force which is the net unbalanced force .So Options -(4) is right.
