Question

Equilibrium cant for B.G. (with usual notations) is:-
1. 1.315 ν²/R
2. 0.80 ν2​/R
3. 0.60 ν2​/R
4. 0.70 ν2​/R

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1.315 ν²/R

Concept:

Equilibrium cant \(= \frac{{{\rm{G}}{{\rm{V}}^2}}}{{127{\rm{R}}}}\)

V - Design speed (kmph)

R - Radius of curvature (m)

For B.G track G = 1.676

\(\begin{array}{l} {\rm{Cant}} = \frac{{1.676{\rm{\;}}{{\rm{V}}^2}}}{{127{\rm{\;R}}}}{\rm{m}}\\ {\rm{e}} = \frac{{1.315{\rm{\;}}{{\rm{V}}^2}}}{{\rm{R}}}{\rm{cm}} \end{array}\)
