$A$ motorcyclist wants to drive in horizontal circles on the vertical inner surface of a large cylindrical wooden well of radius $8.0 \ m$,with a minimum speed of $5 \sqrt{5} \ m \ s^{-1}$. The minimum value of the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the wall of the well must be (take $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$):

  • A
    $0.10$
  • B
    $0.64$
  • C
    $0.30$
  • D
    $0.40$
