A train rounds an unbanked circular bend of radius 30 m and speed 54km/hr mass of train is 106 what is the angle banking to prevent wearing of rail ?
Answers
(1) The centripetal force is provided by the lateral force acting due to rails on the wheels of the train.
(2) Outer rails

the centripetal force required by the train to cross the circular bend is provided by the lateral thrust exerted by the outer rails on the wheels .
According to Newton's law train also exert equal and opposite direction force on the rails causing it wear and tear .
speed of train = 54 km/h
= 54 *5/18 m/s
= 15 m/s
radius of ciruclar bend = 30 m
mass of train = 10^6 kg
Let train inclined {theta} angle with vertical shown in figure .
in equilibrium ,
vertical components :
Ncos {theta} = mg -----------(1)
Nsin {theta} = mv^2/r ---------(2)
divide (2) and (1)
tan {theta} = v^2/rg
= (15)^2/(30)(10)
= 3/4
tan {theta} = 3/4
{theta} = tan^-1 {3/4}
