  1. Question 1

    Q1. A cyclist is moving in a circular path of radius 80 m with a speed of 25 m/s. Find the angle of banking.

    • A) tan^-1(0.625)
    • B) tan^-1(0.75)
    • C) tan^-1(0.8)
    • D) tan^-1(1)

    Answer: tan^-1(0.8)

    Explanation: For a banked road, tan(θ) = v² / (r * g) = (25)² / (80 * 10) = 0.78125. So, θ = tan^-1(0.78125) ≈ tan^-1(0.8).
