$A$ cyclist speeding at $18 \; km/h$ on a level road takes a sharp circular turn of radius $3 \; m$ without reducing the speed. The coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the road is $0.1$. Will the cyclist slip while taking the turn?

$A$ car is moving along a circular path having a coefficient of friction $0.5$ and a radius of curvature $16.2 \,m$. The maximum velocity of the car that can travel without skidding outwards is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$)

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 $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ car of mass $1500 \ kg$ is moving with a speed of $12.5 \ m/s$ on a circular path of radius $20 \ m$ on a level road. What should be the coefficient of friction between the car and the road,so that the car does not slip?
