The direction of the angular velocity of the minute hand of a wall-clock is perpendicular to the wall and directed inwards.

The passenger slides away from the centre of the curve.

The angle θ which a cyclist should make with the vertical while taking a circular turn of radius r with velocity v given by

tan θ = v^2/rg

Sharper the curve, smaller is the radius and greater is the value of 0.
