A ball of mass $0.500\;kg$ is attached to the end of a cord $1.50\;m$ long. The ball is whirled in a horizontal circle as shown in fig.If the cord can withstand a maximum tension of $50.0\;N$, What is the maximum speed at which the ball can be whirled before the cord breaks ? Assume that the string remains horizontal during the motion.

Consider the four wheeled vehicle travelling round a track banked at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal, as shown. Let the conditions be such that when the vehicle is moving with a speed of $v$ there is no sideways force. The forces acting are then weight acting at the centre of gravity $G$ of the vehicle, and the normal reaction $R_1$ and $R_2$ at the wheels. Which of the following values of $\theta$ satisfies the condition for no sideways force?

A cyclist has to lean inwards when negotiating a curved unbanked road. The cyclist leans with an angle $\theta$ to the vertical. $N$ is the normal reaction given by $N=mg$, where $m$ is the mass of the cyclist and the bicycle combined. The radius of the curved road is $R$. The force of friction is given by $F=\mu N$ where $\mu$ is the co-efficient of friction. Assuming the cyclist skids which of the following is true?
