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

Right it is not declared but the term curve seems something to be the given figure 1000 is the radius.

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

Actually, in the problem, it shows that horizontal curve is 1000m but in explanation, they take 1000m as a radius why don't they take it as length of the curve?

But there speed in kilometer and horigental curve in meter so how it is possible? Please explain.

Azanaw said:   9 years ago
Why 75% is taken for design speed?

Yamir said:   9 years ago
F is not gives that doesn't mean we will not use 127 Maximum times we use 127 for already designed roads.

Harveer singh said:   9 years ago
1 in 40 is the right answer.

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

Rajesh kumar saini said:   9 years ago
1/40 is the right answer.

Why used 75% in que not mention mixed traffic?
