$A$ cyclist on a level road takes a sharp circular turn of radius $3 \; m$ $(g = 10 \; m \cdot s^{-2})$. If the coefficient of static friction between the cycle tyres and the road is $0.2$,at which of the following speeds will the cyclist not skid while taking the turn?

  • A
    $9 \; km \cdot h^{-1}$
  • B
    $7.2 \; km \cdot h^{-1}$
  • C
    $10.8 \; km \cdot h^{-1}$
  • D
    $14.4 \; km \cdot h^{-1}$

$A$ 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)

$A$ child starts running from rest along a circular track of radius $r$ with constant tangential acceleration $a$. After time $t$,the child feels that the shoes have started slipping on the ground. What is the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the shoes and the ground? $[g = \text{acceleration due to gravity}]$
