suppose a cyclist is negotiating a curve of radius r with speed v. write the conditions under which skidding will occur.

The maximum velocity with which a vehicle can go around a curve of radius r without skidding is

v=rμg   where μ is coefficient of friction of road and g is accleration due to gravity

So vehicle will skid if

(i)velocity v is very large

(ii)radius of curve is very small

(iii)road being slippery or friction being very small
