Solution
Minimum velocity required by a motorcyclist at the bottom to complete the circle, vmin = `sqrt(5rg)`
= `sqrt(5 xx 6.4 xx 9.8)`
= 17.7 m/s

Do we need a banked road for a two-wheeler? Explain.
While driving along an unbanked circular road, a two-wheeler rider has to lean with the vertical. Why is it so? With what angle the rider has to lean? Derive the relevant expression. Why such a leaning is not necessary for a four wheeler?
Somehow, an ant is stuck to the rim of a bicycle wheel of diameter 1 m. While the bicycle is on a central stand, the wheel is set into rotation and it attains the frequency of 2 rev/s in 10 seconds, with uniform angular acceleration. Calculate:
- The number of revolutions completed by the ant in these 10 seconds.
- Time is taken by it for first complete revolution and the last complete revolution.

A flywheel used to prepare earthenware pots is set into rotation at 100 rpm. It is in the form of a disc of mass 10 kg and a radius 0.4 m. A lump of clay (to be taken equivalent to a particle) of mass 1.6 kg falls on it and adheres to it at a certain distance x from the center. Calculate x if the wheel now rotates at 80 rpm.
