If a cyclist moving with a speed of $4.9 \, m/s$ on a level road can take a sharp circular turn of radius $4 \, m$,then the coefficient of friction between the cycle tyres and the road is:

  • A
    $0.41$
  • B
    $0.51$
  • C
    $0.61$
  • D
    $0.71$

$(b)$ maximum permissible speed to avoid slipping?

$A$ body of mass $M \text{ kg}$ is at the top point of a smooth hemisphere of radius $5 \text{ m}$. It is released to slide down the surface of the hemisphere. It leaves the surface when its velocity is $5 \text{ m/s}$. At this instant, the angle made by the radius vector of the body with the vertical is (Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$) (in $^{\circ}$)
