gR/W
W/gR
Overturning of a vehicle begins when —
P/W=f
P/W≥b/2h

The relation between super elevation (e), friction (f) and speed (V) is —
e−f=V2/127R
e+f=V2/127R
e/f=127V2R

Mechanical widening for a two‑lane road with wheelbase 6 m and curve radius 120 m is —
(a)
Super elevation is provided to counteract centrifugal force.
True
False
Psychological widening depends only on wheelbase and number of lanes.
True
False
Assertion (A): Rotation about inner edge is suited for flat terrain. Reason (R): It avoids drainage problems and needs less earthwork. Choose the correct statement.
A and R are true, and R explains A
A and R are true, but R does not explain A
A is true, R is false
Both are false
At equilibrium super elevation, the pressure on the inner and outer wheels are —
(a)
Which expression correctly gives the total extra widening We ?
We=2Rn×l2+9.5×RV
We=2Rl2+9.5×RnV
We=2Rn×l+9.5×RV2
We=Rn×l2+127×RV
