Answer:

The angle of inclination of the rider to the vertical is 32.5⁰.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

linear speed of the motor cycle, v = 90 km/hr = 25 m/s

radius of the circle, r = 100 m

The angle of inclination of the rider to the vertical is calculated using banking angle formula;


\theta = tan^(-1)((v^2)/(rg) )\\\\\theta = tan^(-1) ((25^2)/(100 * 9.8) )\\\\\theta = 32.5 ^0

Therefore, the angle of inclination of the rider to the vertical is 32.5⁰
