A motor cyclist moving with a velocity of 72 km/hour on a flat road takes a turn on the road at a point where the radius of curvature of the road is 20 meters. The acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/sec2. In order to avoid skidding, he must not bend with respect to the vertical plane by an angle greater than 

(1) θ=tan16

(2) θ=tan12

(3) θ=tan125.92

(4) θ=tan14

Two masses M and m are attached to a vertical axis by weightless threads of combined length l. They are set in rotational motion in a horizontal plane about this axis with constant angular velocity ω. If the tensions in the threads are the same during motion, the distance 'x' of M from the axis is- 

(1) MlM+m

(2) mlM+m

(3) M+mMl

(4) M+mml
