From the equation $\tan \theta = \frac{{rg}}{{{v^2}}}$, one can obtain the angle of banking $\theta $ for a cyclist taking a curve (the symbols have their usual meanings). Then say, it is

A

Both dimensionally and numerically correct

B

Neither numerically nor dimensionally correct

C

Dimensionally correct only

D

Numerically correct only

Solution

(c) Given equation is dimensionally correct because both sides are dimensionless but numerically wrong because the correct equation is $\tan \theta = \frac{{{v^2}}}{{rg}}$.
