Question

The diagram below is an official schematic of a velodrome, where track cycling takes place. The riders can go
around the track at up to 90 km/h. Assume that a biker is taking the steep turn (with maximum angle as shown) at a
speed of 82 km/h and that the turn has a radius of 25 m.

a. Determine the coefficient of friction required to keep on the track.
b. Explain why the track is banked (i.e. explain what would happen if the track were horizontal).
