To reduce the centripetal force acting on him

so that the normal force can balance the centrifugal force and he stays in equilibrium

see when a cyclist drive the bicycle and when he is not inclined then force of friction provides the centripetal force


now when motor cyclist is drving with a gr8 speed and when he bends that time the resultant vector R has two components R COS AND R SIN


HERE


R SIN =MV^2/r.................(1)


R COS =mg .................(2)


DIVIDE 1 &2


SO TAN =V^2/rg


SO WE GET V max =sqrt OF rg TAN


THIS IS THE MAX SPEED WITH WHICH A PERSON CAN DRIVE ON INCLINED PLANE AND SO THE CYCLIST IS NT THROWN OUT WHEN HE TAKES A TURN AND WHEN HE IS IN GR8 SPEED

In this case the component of the normal rxn balances the centrifugal force which tends to drive the cyclist outwards due to which he can slip.

while taking a turn two prominent forces act on the cyclist:one is the centripetal force towards the centre of rotation and the other is the frictional force which acts in the opposite direction..these two forcescreate a couple that tend to make the cyclist fall.thus he bends at an angle to the horizontal so as to keep himself on the bicycle.


tan =v^2/rg

@debotosh.babai


friction force is exerted by the ground on the bicycle.. which agent is responsible for the "centripetal force"?

well if the question you asked is on the plane ground then the accurate answer according to me is that the cyclist do so in order to maintain the rotational equillibrium! that to balance the torque due to weight and centripetal force acting at the point of contact!

for more reference u can switch on to resnick halliday its given the same thing there!

my fortune is in my own hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

friction on the tyres of the cycle must balance the centrifugal force...... angle= tan inv. v2/rg

to avoid the centrifugal force n increase the centripetal force by increasing the speed wi

when a cyclist takes the turn then frictional force start acting then this force provide necessary centripital force which is required to take the turn to take turn to he bends and he bend inwards

In this when  cyclist will take the turn then what will be the direction of normal reaction.


I mean will normal reaction be perpandicular to the surface or along the cycle...........i.e inclined.
