$A$ 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:

Define optimum speed.

$A$ horizontal curve on a racing track is banked at a $45^o$ angle. When a vehicle goes around this curve at the curve's safe speed (no friction needed to stay on the track),what is its centripetal acceleration?
