A cyclist speeding at 
on a level road takes a sharp circular turn of radius 3 m without reducing the speed. The coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the road is 0.1. Will the cyclist slip while taking the turn?
A
Yes, because 
B
Yes, because 
C
No, because 
D
None of these
Text Solution
