A ball of mass \(0.1~\text{kg}\) is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius \(1\) m by means of a string at an initial speed of \(10~\text{rpm}\) . Keeping the radius constant, the tension in the string is reduced to one quarter of its initial value. The new speed is:

1.	\(5~\text{rpm}\)	2.	\(10~\text{rpm}\)
3.	\(20~\text{rpm}\)	4.	\(14~\text{rpm}\)

A cyclist riding the bicycle at a speed of $14\sqrt{3}$ms^–1 takes a turn around a circular road of radius $20\sqrt{3}$m without skidding. Given g = 9.8 ms^–2, what is his inclination to the vertical?

A point mass \(m\) is suspended from a light thread of length \(l,\) fixed at \(O\), and is whirled in a horizontal circle at a constant speed as shown. From your point of view, stationary with respect to the mass, the forces on the mass are:

3.		4.

If a cyclist moving with a speed of 4.9 m/s on a level road can take a sharp circular turn of radius 4 m, then coefficient of friction between the cycle tyres and road is
