A curve in a level road has a radius of \(75\) m. The maximum speed of a car turning this curved road can be \(30\) m/s without skidding. If the radius of the curved road is changed to \(48\) m and the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road remains the same, then the maximum allowed speed would be:
1. \(12\) m/s
2. \(24\) m/s
3. \(32\) m/s
4. \(44\) m/s

A cyclist travels at a speed of \(7~\text{km/hr}\) on an unbanked road and takes a sharp circular turn of radius \(2~\text{m}\) without reducing speed. The coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the road is \(0.2.\)
Statement I: The cyclist will be able to negotiate the turn without slipping.
Statement II: If the same turn of radius \(2~\text{m}\) is taken on a road banked at \(45^\circ,\) the cyclist can travel at a speed of \(18.5~\text{km/hr}\) around the curve without slipping.
 
1. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
3. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect

A car of mass \(m\) is moving on a banked curve of radius \(r\) and banking angle \(\theta.\) To prevent the car from slipping, the maximum permissible speed is \(v_0.\) The coefficient of friction \(\mu\) between the tyres of the car and the road is given by:

1. \(\mu=\dfrac{v_0^2-r g \tan \theta}{r g-v_0^2 \tan \theta} \) 2. \(\mu=\dfrac{v_0^2-r g \tan \theta}{r g+v_0^2 \tan \theta} \)
3. \(\mu=\dfrac{v_0^2+r g \tan \theta}{r g+v_0^2 \tan \theta} \) 4. \(\mu=\dfrac{v_0^2+r g \tan \theta}{r g-v_0^2 \tan \theta}\)
