Hi guys, ASAP please answer the question thank you so much!!

A cyclist travelling at 8.0 m/s is rounding a corner of radius20 m on a flat road by leaning into the curve at an angle x withrespect to the vertical. the coefficient of static friction betweenthe tyres and the road is 0.80 and the rims and tyres are ofnegligible mass in comparison to the mass of the cycle andrider.

1. draw a diagram explicitly showing the vertical and lateralforces on the combined mass of rider and cycle

2. by determining the torques about the combined centre of mass,show the angle of the lean is given by tanx = Ffr/Fn (frictionforce and normal force )

3. detemine the angle x for the value given

4. evaluate the minimum radius of turn the cyclist could make atthat speed

5. explain why a properly designed velodrome is a better placefor high speed cycling than a flat road
