Question

Rails on a railway track are fixed on sleepers . Why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Iron rails are fixed over wide wooden or concrete sleepers to reduce pressure received from the train by increasing the area of contact, because if surface area increases pressure decreases and vice-versa, they also transfer the loads to the ground underneath.
