A train has to negotiate a curve of radius 400m. The speed of the train is 72 km//hour . The horizontal distance is to be raised with respect to the inner radius by h. IF distances between rail is l=1 m, the value of h will be (g=10 m//s^2 )

The radius of curvature of railway line at a place is 200 m. If the distance between the railsis1.6 m and the outer rail is raised by 0.08 m above the inner rail, the speed of the train for which there is no'side pressure on the railsis
