A train A runs from east to west and another train B of the same mass runs from west to east at the same speed along the equator. A presses the track with a force F1 and B presses the track with a force F2.

a
F1 > F2
b
F1 < F2
c
F1 = F2
d
The information is insufficient to find the relation between F1 and F2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Earth rotate about its axis from west to east.For Train A: vA = v - ωrFor Train B : vB = v + ωrFor Train Amg - NA = m(v-ωr)2rNA = mg-m(v-ωr)2r Similarly for Train B :  NB = mg-m(v+ωr)2rClearly NB < NA and F1 > F2
