Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, radius of curvature, \(r=250 \mathrm{~m}\) Maximum velocity of train, \(v=90 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\) \[ =\frac{90 \times 5}{18} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}=25 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \] Let \(\theta\) be the angle of banking of railway track. Then, by using an expression of…
