Solution

The correct option is C 105 m/s
For finding the radius of curvature we apply the concept of centripetal acceleration, where we resolve the component of acceleration (g) of particle towards the centre of circle with radius of curvature (R) as radius.


ac=v2r..........(1)
From Eq.(1) replacing acgcosθ, rR:

R=v2gcosθ
v2=R×gcosθ
v2=502×10cos45
v=105 m/s
