(a) Explanation The free body diagram for the bicycle system is given by figure 1. The net torque acting on the system is zero. Write the expression for resultant torque acting on the system. F N x − F F r y = 0 (I) Here, F N is the normal force, x is the horizontal distance, F f r is the frictional force and y is the vertical distance. Conclusion: Substitute, tan θ for ( x / y ) in equation (I) to find the condition (b) To determine The angle for which the bicycle will keep balance. (c) To determine The minimum turning radius.

Central Force

Central force is the force that acts along the center of mass of one body to the center of mass of another body. Its direction from or away from a point on a body to another is called the center of the force. Such forces include gravitational force betwe…
