Question Number 24175 by NECx last updated on 13/Nov/17
A cyclist goes round a circular  track of radius 70m.The total mass  of bicycle and rider is 70kg.Calculate  the frictional force which will  ensure that the rider successfully  negotiates the track with a speed  of 25m/s.What happens to the  rider if μ=0.3?

f_(max)  ≥ mv^2 /r     ≥ ((70×25×25)/(70))   ⇒  f_(max)  ≥ 625 N  or  μmg ≥ 625 N   ⇒ μ ≥ ((625)/(70×10)) =((6.25)/7) ≈ 0.893  if μ =0.3 the rider should go  slower than 25m/s  or the  bicycle tyre slips outward.

((mv^2 )/r)≤μmg=f  ⇒μ≥(v^2 /(rg))=((25^2 )/(70×10))=0.89  ⇒f=0.89×70×10=625 N
