A vehicle is moving with speed $v$ on a curved road of radius $r$. The coefficient of friction between the vehicle and the road is $\mu$. The angle $\theta$ of banking needed is given by
  • A$\tan \theta=\frac{v^2-\mu r g}{v^2-r g}$
  • B $\tan \theta=\frac{v^2-\mu r g}{v^2+\mu r g}$
  • C$\tan \theta=\frac{v^2-\mu r g}{r g+\mu v^2}$
  • D$\tan \theta=\frac{\mu r \cdot g-v^2}{r g+\mu v^2}$

    In the figure, a ladder of mass $m$ is shown leaning against a wall. It is in static equilibrium making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the ladder is $\mu_1$ and that between the floor and the ladder is $\mu_2$. The normal reaction of the wall on the ladder is $N_1$ and that of the floor is $N_2$. If the ladder is about to slip, then
