Superelevation 1 in 15 = 0.066667 (1/15 = 0.066667)
e+f = V^2/127R,
V^2 = (e+f)/127R.
V^2= (0.066667+.15)/127*100,
V^2=2751.6,
V=\/'''''''2751.6.
V=52.45.

ROY: You are wrong.

ANOOP RASTOGI is right.

Roy said:   8 years ago
But by above formula, it comes 43.64. Am I right?

e+f = (v^2)/127R.

V^2 = (0.066667+0.15)127*100 = 52.4563.

E+f = v^2/(127R).

V^2 = (e+f) 127R = 52.4563.
