Defined a vehicle can be parked on a slope.
The velocity of the vehicle on a circular balanced road is given by,
$v_{\max }=\left[r g\left(\frac{\mu_{s}+\tan \theta}{1-\mu_{s} \tan \theta}\right)\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Here we have to take $\mu_{s}=0$ as the surface is smooth.
$v_{\max }=\left[\operatorname{rg}\left(\frac{0+\tan \theta}{1-0}\right)\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
$\therefore v_{\max } =\left[r g\left(\frac{\tan \theta}{1}\right)\right]^{-}$
$\therefore v_{\max } =\sqrt{r g \tan \theta}$
At this speed, frictional force is not needed at all to provide the necessary centripetal force. Driving at this speed on a banked road will cause little wear and tear on the tyres. $v_{0}$ is called the optimum speed.

A motor cyclist moving with a velocity of $72\, km/hour$ on a flat road takes a turn on the road at a point where the radius of curvature of the road is $20$ meters. The acceleration due to gravity is $10 m/sec^2$. In order to avoid skidding, he must not bend with respect to the vertical plane by an angle greater than
