Equilibrium super elevation means f=0 then using, e=(V^2)/(127*R).
e=0.06299*100=6.3%.

No, the answer is D and m/s should come instead of kmph.

v2/gR.

Its e=v^2/gr
=123.43/(9.81 x 200)
=0.0629 x 100
=6.29

@Onkar Jadhav.

How 123.43 comes?

Ajeet said:   5 years ago
The answer should be 3.55% as e= V^2/255R.

e = v^2/gr.
= (40/3.6)^2/(9.81 x 200),
= 0.0629x100,
= 6.30.

e = V2/127R.
= 40 * 40/127 * 200 = 0.0629 = 6.3%.

@Priyanka

40/3.6=11.1111^2=123.4.
To convert the unit 1MPS-3.6 kmph.

e+f = V2/127R.

For equilibrium superelevation f=0;
= 40 * 40/127 * 200,
= 0.0629 = 6.3%.
