Q16 of 28 Page 4

A railway train is traveling on a circular curve of 1500 meters radius at the rate of 66 km/hr. Through what angle has it turned in 10 seconds?

Given time is 10 seconds.


And speed = 66 km/h


We know that




Now radius of curve = 1500 m


We know that




So, the train will turn 11/ 90 radian in 10 seconds.
