The correct answer is option A.

CORRECT ANSWER IS A - 1°43"08' -Cofirmed from textbook

Explanation:

Max Deflection angle = L^2/6RL (this is in radians),
So in degrees, it will be =L ^2/6RL [180/π],
In minutes it will be = 1800 [L^2/RL].
Thus applying this formula we get max Deflection angle = 1°43"08'.

(For those asking where the 573 in the above explanations came from its simply 180/π =573).

@Zeshan.

How come 573.25?

LENGTH OF CURVE= π * R * D/180.

((573*90)/(500*60))=1°43'08".

L2/6RL.
500^2/(6*500*90)*(180).
=1'43'7.14".

Here R=90 and L= 500 is given then how can this answer is possible?

Please explain the answer in detail.

Option A is correct (L2/6RL) * 180/π.

Zeshan said:   6 years ago
The Maximum deflection angle of transition curve (in minutes)= (573.25*L^2)/(R*L).
Therefore = (573.25*90*90)/(500*90).
Answer = 103.18 minutes.
Convert to degrees = 1° 43' 18".
(1°= 60' ,1'= 60").
