Question

Explain why a cyclist bends while
negotiating a curve road? Arrive at the
expression for angle of bending for a
given velocity​

Answer 1

Answer:

A cyclist bends inwards while turning around a curve in order to negotiate the effects of slipping which would occur otherwise. Now, the leaning action of the cyclist provides the necessary centripetal force required for following a curved path.

Answer 2

The cyclist bends slightly inwards while going on a curved road because by doing that the cyclist is generating necessary centripetal force, which is being centred towards the centre that helps in turning around a bend.
