22. Radius of the curves = 100m

b) At B & D the cycle has no tendency to slide. So at B & D, frictional force is zero.
At ‘C’, mg sin ? = F ? F = 1000 ×

d) To find out the minimum desired coeff. of friction, we have to consider a point just before C. (where 
N is minimum)
Now, ? N = mg sin ? ? ? × 682 = 707
So, ? = 1.037 ?

24. If the bowl rotates at maximum angular speed, the block tends to slip upwards. So, the frictional force 
acts downward.
Here, r = R sin ?
