A train of mass m moves with a velocity ...

A train of mass `m` moves with a velocity `upsilon` on the equator from east to west. If `omega` is the angular speed of earth about its axis and `R` is the radius of the earth then the normal reaction acting on the train is

A

`mg[1-((omega R - 2 upsilon) omega )/(g)-(upsilon^(2))/(Rg)]`

B

`mg[1- 2((omega R - upsilon) omega )/(g)-(upsilon^(2))/(Rg)]`

C

`mg[1- ((omega R - 2 upsilon) omega )/(g)-(upsilon^(2))/(Rg)]`

D

`mg[1-2 ((omega R - upsilon) omega )/(g)-(upsilon^(2))/(Rg)]`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the normal reaction acting on a train moving from east to west at the equator, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Forces Acting on the Train**: - The gravitational force acting downward on the train is \( mg \) (where \( m \) is the mass of the train and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity). - The normal reaction force \( N \) acts upward. 2. **Consider the Earth's Rotation**: - The Earth rotates from west to east with an angular speed \( \omega \). - The linear speed \( v \) of the train is directed from east to west. 3. **Calculate the Effective Velocity**: - The effective velocity of the train relative to the Earth's surface can be expressed as: \[ v_{\text{effective}} = \omega R - v \] - Here, \( \omega R \) is the speed of a point on the equator due to Earth's rotation. 4. **Apply Newton's Second Law**: - According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the train in the vertical direction can be expressed as: \[ mg - N = m \cdot a \] - Where \( a \) is the centripetal acceleration due to the effective velocity: \[ a = \frac{(v_{\text{effective}})^2}{R} = \frac{(\omega R - v)^2}{R} \] 5. **Substituting for Centripetal Acceleration**: - Substitute \( a \) into the equation: \[ mg - N = m \cdot \frac{(\omega R - v)^2}{R} \] 6. **Rearranging the Equation**: - Rearranging gives: \[ N = mg - m \cdot \frac{(\omega R - v)^2}{R} \] 7. **Simplifying the Expression**: - Factor out \( m \): \[ N = m \left( g - \frac{(\omega R - v)^2}{R} \right) \] - Expanding \( (\omega R - v)^2 \): \[ N = m \left( g - \frac{\omega^2 R^2 - 2\omega R v + v^2}{R} \right) \] - This simplifies to: \[ N = mg \left( 1 - \frac{\omega^2 R - 2v}{g} - \frac{v^2}{gR} \right) \] 8. **Final Expression for Normal Reaction**: - Thus, the normal reaction \( N \) acting on the train is: \[ N = mg \left( 1 - \frac{\omega^2 R - 2v}{g} - \frac{v^2}{gR} \right) \] ### Final Answer: The normal reaction acting on the train is: \[ N = mg \left( 1 - \frac{\omega^2 R - 2v}{g} - \frac{v^2}{gR} \right) \]
