If you tie a 5kg stone to a rope and swing it in a circular manner with a velocity of 5m/s observe the angle of inclination. Then try this experiment with a 10kg stone tied to the same rope and swing it with a velocity of 5m/s, you would observe that the angle of inclination is the same. i.e. the rope is tilted the same way in both experiments.

What is centrifugal force? Explain please.

Only if the speed is relatively high at its peak the mass will be negligible.

Since it is a vehicle on the ground there must be a consideration on frictional force. Due to that mass come into play by adding normal force to the surface. And due to centrifugal force (never mentioned in free space) that friction pushes away the body. So that the vehicle tend to get inclined and depends on mass certainly.

Because the mass of the vehicle remains constant, it depends upon the velocity of the vehicle as velocity can be changed.

Here, Tan θ = v>2/gr.

It only depends on whether you are normal driving or on race riding.

Here,Tanθ =v^2/rg.

When a car goes around a banked circular path, it's mass determines the force it feels due to the gravitational pull as well as the centrifugal force. Since it plays a factor in opposing forces and there is no other mass independent force, the mass term gets cancelled out.

It should be depends only on velocity. Because when velocity increases centrifugal force increases which tends to vehicle remains in touch with circular path.
