As we learnt in

Bending a Cyclist -

From figure. 

Rsin heta=frac{mv^{2}}{r}                            (i)

Rcos heta=mg                            (ii)

(i) & (ii)

tan heta=frac{v^{2}}{rg}

heta=tan^{-1}left( frac{v^{2}}{rg} ight )

V = velocity

r = radius of track

heta= angle with which cycle leans

- wherein

*    radius of curve is small.

*    velocity of the cyclist is large.

 

 

 

 

\tan \theta =\frac{v^{2}}{rg}

\theta = 45^{\circ}

r=90m

g=10m/s^{2}

\tan 45^{\circ}=\frac{v^{2}}{90\times 10}

V=30m/s
