Important Questions on Circular Motion

EASY
A curved road of diameter 1.8 km is banked so that no friction is required at a speed of 30 m s-1. What is the banking angle?
MEDIUM

Statement I: A cyclist is moving on an unbanked road with a speed of 7 km h-1 and takes a sharp circular turn along a path of the radius of 2 m without reducing the speed. The static friction coefficient is 0.2. The cyclist will not slip and pass the curve g=9.8 m s-2

Statement II : If the road is banked at an angle of 45°, cyclist can cross the curve of 2 m radius with the speed of 18.5 km h-1 without slipping. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
