e+f = v^2/127r.

e+0.15 = 60^2/127*128.

e = 0.71.

But it comes 0.071, can any one explain?

Ambadas said:   9 years ago
Yes, the answer must be 0.071.

But you cannot exceed the limit for e=0.07?

@ Ritesh Kumar:

The super elevation "needed" is asked, so the answer is 0.071.
However, the super elevation "provided" will be 0.07, as we can't exceed the limit prescribed by IRC.

0.22145 - 0.15 = 0.0714.
