| Bending of a Cyclist |
|
| In order to take a safe turn, the cyclist has to bend a little from his vertical position. In this case, a component of the reaction provides the required centripetal force. |
| |
| If q is angle made by the cyclist with the vertical then |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
 |
| |
| In actual practice, the value of q is slightly less because the force of friction also contributes towards the centripetal force. |
