Solved Example Problems for Bending of Cyclist in Curves

Example 5.13

A cyclist while negotiating a circular path with speed 20 m s-1 is found to bend an angle by 30o with vertical. What is the radius of the circular path? (given, g = 10 m s-2)

Solution

Speed of the cyclist, v = 20 m s-1

Angle of bending with vertical, θ = 30o
