Question: 4 ) A ) What is the equilibrium cant on a 2 . 5 deg curve on a broad gauge for several trains running

4) A)What is the equilibrium cant on a 2.5\deg curve on a broad gauge for several trains running with certain speeds as given below:
i)20 trains at a speed of 70 km.p.h
ii)15 trains at a speed of 60 km.p.h
iii)10 trains at a speed of 80 km.p.h
Also, find the speed for which superelevation is to be maintained.
B) If a 6\deg curve tack diverges from a main curve of 4\deg in an opposite direction in the layout of a B.G. yard, calculate the superelevation and the speed on the branch line, if the maximum speed permitted on the main line is 50 km.p.h.(Given cant deficiency =7.6 cm
