$A$ railway track is banked for a speed $v$ by elevating the outer rail by a height $h$ above the inner rail. If the distance between the two rails is $d$,then the radius of curvature of the track is ($g$ = gravitational acceleration).

  • A
    $\frac{v^2 d}{gh}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 v^2}{gdh}$
  • C
    $\frac{gd}{2 v^2 h}$
  • D
    $\frac{v^2}{2 gh d}$

$A$ railway line is taken round a circular arc of radius $1000 \ m$,and is banked by raising the outer rail $h \ m$ above the inner rail. If the lateral force on the inner rail when a train travels round the curve at $10 \ ms^{-1}$ is equal to the lateral force on the outer rail when the train's speed is $20 \ ms^{-1}$,then the value of $4g \tan \theta$ is equal to: (The distance between the rails is $1.5 \ m$)
