Dynamics of uniform and non uniform circular motion

Question

A train rounds an unbanked circular bend of radius 50 m at a speed of 54 kmh-1. If g = 10 ms-2, the angle of banking required to prevent wearing out of rails is given by θ=tan1(p) . The value of p is

Easy
Solution

Now v=54 kmh1=15 ms1, R = 50 m. 

The required angle of banking is given by

 tan θ=v2Rg=15×1550×10=0.45
