The correct answer is A.

SABIN ACHARYA said:   8 years ago
E=eB.
e=v*v/gR.

SO,
E=v*v*B/gR.
From final equation.
E directly proportion to width, square of velocity and,
inversely proportional to the g and R.
SO, ans B IS RIGHT.

Bicky agarwal said:   8 years ago
Here, e+f=v^2/gR.

So, A will be answer.

1) e=E/w.
2) e+f=v^2/gR.

Answer A is exactaly correct.

Surya said:   8 years ago
I think option A is the correct answer.

V^2/gr.

v-velocity of the vehicle,
g-gravitational force,
r-radius of the curve so right answer is option A.

Lone Khursheed said:   8 years ago
E = eB.
Here in above relation;
e= Rate of super elevation,
And E = total super elevation.

Therefore total super elevation is directly proportional to width B.
But rate of super-elevation that is e is not proportional to width as the product of e and B is equal to E.

So, option A is incorrect.

W V^2
_____
gr

Directly proportional = width and sq of speed (not velocity).
Inversely = acceleration due to gravity and radius of the curve.

Pramit said:   9 years ago
According to me, It's directly proportional to the SQUARE of velocity.

Lucky jaswal said:   9 years ago
directly proportional to velocity and width.
Inversely to the radius.

It seems wrong in acceleration.
