A railway track is banked for a speed v,...

A railway track is banked for a speed v, by making the height of the outer rail h higher than that of the inner rail. The distance between the rails is d. The radius of curvature of the track is r

A

`h/d =v^(2)/(rg)`

B

`tan(sin^(-1) h/d) =v^(2)/(rg)`

C

`tan^(-1)(h/d) = v^(2)/(rg)`

D
