$A$ car travels on a circular racetrack of radius $50 \text{ m}$, which is banked at an angle $\theta$. If the car travels at a speed $10 \text{ ms}^{-1}$, then the wear and tear on its tyres is minimum. Taking the acceleration due to gravity to be $10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$, the value of $\theta$ is:

$A$ car of mass $1000\, kg$ negotiates a banked curve of radius $90\, m$ on a frictionless road. If the banking angle is $45^\circ$,the speed of the car is ....... $m\,s^{-1}$.

$A$ railway line is taken round a circular arc of radius $1000 \ m$,and is banked by raising the outer rail $h \ m$ above the inner rail. If the lateral force on the inner rail when a train travels round the curve at $10 \ ms^{-1}$ is equal to the lateral force on the outer rail when the train's speed is $20 \ ms^{-1}$,then the value of $4g \tan \theta$ is equal to: (The distance between the rails is $1.5 \ m$)
