$A$ 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 $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$):

$A$ body of mass $200 \text{ g}$ is tied to a spring of spring constant $12.5 \text{ N/m}$,while the other end of the spring is fixed at point '$O$'. If the body moves about '$O$' in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with a constant angular speed of $5 \text{ rad/s}$,then the ratio of the extension in the spring to its natural length will be:

The coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is $0.25$. The maximum speed with which a car can be driven round a curve of radius $40 \,m$ without skidding is ........ $ms^{-1}$ (assume $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ modern grand-prix racing car of mass $m$ is travelling on a flat track in a circular arc of radius $R$ with a speed $v$. If the coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the track is $\mu_{s},$ then the magnitude of negative lift $F_{L}$ acting downwards on the car is (Assume forces on the four tyres are identical and $g =$ acceleration due to gravity)

For a body moving in a circular path,what is the condition for no skidding if $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction?
