Can you explain with diagrams please? I can't understand in which direction forces are balanced.

m(v cos θ)^2 /r=mg  ⇒θ=cos^(−1) (√((gr)/v^2 ))
$${m}\left({v}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\right)^{\mathrm{2}} /{r}={mg} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\theta=\mathrm{cos}^{−\mathrm{1}} \sqrt{\frac{{gr}}{{v}^{\mathrm{2}} }} \\ $$

since the surface is smooth, the  cylinder can only apply a normal force  toward the center line of cylinder.

But vcos θ is not along the direction  of radius joining the particle then  why ((m(vcos θ)^2 )/r)?
$${But}\:{v}\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\:{is}\:{not}\:{along}\:{the}\:{direction} \\ $$$${of}\:{radius}\:{joining}\:{the}\:{particle}\:{then} \\ $$$${why}\:\frac{{m}\left({v}\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }{{r}}? \\ $$

v cos θ is the velocity of particle in   horizontal direction. in horizontal  direction the particle makes a  circular motion with radius r. the  corresponding normal force on  cylinder wall is ((m(v cos θ)^2 )/r) which  equals mg at the moment.

But why the particle makes a circular turn in the direction of horizontal component of velocity?

it is said that the particle moves along  the inner wall of cylinder. this motion  has two components:   circular motion with velocity v cos θ and  motion parallelly to the axis of  cylinder with velocity v sin θ
