To solve the problem of how much the outer rail should be raised with respect to the inner rail for a train negotiating a curve, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the speed from km/h to m/s Given speed = 72 km/h. To convert km/h to m/s, we use the conversion factor \( \frac{5}{18} \): \[ \text{Speed in m/s} = 72 \times \frac{5}{18} = 20 \text{ m/s} ...
