A circular railway track of radius r is ...

A circular railway track of radius r is banked at angle `theta` so that a train moving with speed v can safely go round the track. A student writes: `tan theta =rg//v^(2)`. Why this relation is not correct?
(i) Equality of dimensions does not guarantee correctness of the relation .
(ii) Dimensionally correct relation may not be numerically correct.
iii) The relation is dimensionally incorrect.

A man walking briskly in rain with speed v must slant his umbrella forward making an angle theta with the vertical. A student derives the following relation between theta and v: tan theta = v and checks that the relation has a correct limit : as vtoo, thetato0 , as expected , (we are assuming there is no strong wind and that the rain falls vertically for a stationary man.) Do you think this relation can be correct ? If you, guess the correct relation.
