r is radius of the elevated path because distance between the two trains will acts as the radius of the banking of road.
r = 1.5
mv = 20 m/s
tanθ = v2rg where θ is the angle elevation.
tanθ = 20×201.5×10
= 26.66θ
= tan−(26.66)

Answer: 1.50mm

Explanation:

Here use the formula

tan@=V^2/Rg.

V= velocity of train

R= radius of curvature

g= 10m/s^2

Therefore

tan@=20*20/40,000*10

tan@=1/1000

From triangle ABC

AB = elevation of outer rail

BC = distance between two rails

Therefore

tan@= AB/BC

1/ 1000 = AB/1.5

AB = 1.50*10^-3 m

AB = 1.50 mm

Therefore elevation of outer rail is 1.50mm.
