The coefficient of static friction between the road and tyres of a car is $0.4$. The maximum permissible speed of the car is $10 \,ms^{-1}$ on a curved unbanked road. Then the maximum radius of curvature of the road is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ 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:
