But it is not declared that 1000 m is the radius of the curve.

e = v^2/225R.
V in kmph, R in mtrs.
75×75/225 × 1000 = 1/40.

e = V^2/gR.
V = 75% of design speed.
V = 0.75*75.
v = V/3.2.

75*75/(225*1000) = 75/(3*1000) = 25/1000 = 5/200 = 1/40.

1 in 40 is the right answer.

V^2/125r ( f is not given).

Happy said:   9 years ago
But, here v^2/225 is the highest unit of super-elevation.

F = 0 V = 0.75 V design speed.

E = (0.75 V)^2/(127 R).

Good platform. Very helpful for the competitive exams.

According to IRC 73-1990 Plate 1, the answer is 1:50.
