The forces acting on the cycle and cyclists are weight of the cycle and cyclist together = mg vertically downwards and the reaction by the ground on the cycle tyre at an angleθ to the vertical. Resolve this reaction R in Vertical component - Rcosθ and Horizontal component Rsinθ. Equating the vertical forces Rcosθ = mg and the horizontal force is nothing but the centripetal force Rsinθ = mv2/r; Divide second equation by first Rsinθ/Rcosθ = v2/rg; tanθ =v2/rg orθ = tan-1(v2/rg) Please remember we have ignored the frictional force between the tyre and the ground here read less

If force is acting on a moving body perpendicular to the direction of motion, then what will be its effect on the speed and direction of the body?
The magnitude of velocity shall decrease and direction shall be same till it comes to rest, afterwards it shall move in direction of force with acceleration due to the applied force.

What should be the fees for class XI and xii physics per class in Bhubaneswar?
According to me, the best fee will be the changed study pattern of the students from rote to conceptual and being able for themselves to choose what they actually want to do after 12th ( not necessarily engineering or MBBS). Thanks.

why 200 volt AC is more dangerous than 220 volt DC???
current or voltage we measure for AC are alaways rms(root mean square) value not the actual magnitude so 220 volt ac(rms)= 220*sqrt(2)=311 volt but 220 volt DC alaways gives the magnitude...
