  • Question
  • A cyclist leans inwards when he is negotiating a curve so that


  • Options
  • A. he may increase his speed
  • B. his weight may be reduced
  • C. necessary centripetal force may be available from the horizontal component of the normal reaction due to the track to maintain the curved motion.
  • D. no frictional force may be produced between the wheels and the axle

  • Correct Answer
  • necessary centripetal force may be available from the horizontal component of the normal reaction due to the track to maintain the curved motion. 

    Explanation

    No circular or curved motion is possible without providing the necessary centripetal force. (C) provides this and so is the answer.
