    $v = \sqrt{rg \tan \theta}$
  • B
    $v = \sqrt{rg \sin \theta}$
  • C
    $v = \sqrt{rg \cos \theta}$
  • 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 $1.5 \ m$)
