$A$ motorcyclist has to rotate in horizontal circles inside the cylindrical wall of inner radius '$R$' metre. If the coefficient of friction between the wall and the tyres is '$\mu_{s}$',then the minimum speed required is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\sqrt{\mu_{s} Rg}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{Rg}{\mu_{s}}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\mu_{s}}{Rg}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{R^2 g}{\mu_{s}}}$
