A motorcyclist moving with a velocity of \(72\ \text{km/h}\) on a flat road takes a turn on the road at a point where the radius of curvature of the road is \(20\ \text{m}\). The acceleration due to gravity is \(10\ \text{m/s}^2\). To avoid skidding, he must not bend with respect to the vertical plane by an angle greater than:

1. \(𝜃=\tan^{−1}6\)

2. \(𝜃=\tan^{−1}2\)

3. \(𝜃=\tan^{−1}25.92\)
