In a motorcycle stunt called the "well of death",the track is a vertical cylindrical surface of $18\, m$ diameter. What should be the minimum speed of the motorcyclist in $m/s$ to prevent him from sliding down? The coefficient of friction is $0.8$ and take $g = 10\, m/s^2$.

  • A
    $9.8$
  • B
    $10.5$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
