Question

A motor cyclist at a speed of 5 m/s is describing a circle of radius 25 m. Find his inclination with vertical. What is the value of coefficient of friction between tyre and ground?

Answer 1

Given: v = 5 m/s, r = 25 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

To find: i. Inclination with vertical (θ) ii. Coefficient of friction (μ)

i. The inclination of the motor cyclist with vertical is 5°50'.

ii. The value of coefficient of friction between tyre and ground is 0.1021.
