In India, what is the ratio between the weight of the train and the axle weight of the engine (both in tons)?1. 1 : 5102. 1 : 4103. 1 : 3104. 1 ; 210

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1 : 510

Concept:

A rail is designated by its weight per unit length. The various important factors to be considered in deciding the weight of train are:

1. Speed of Train

2. The axle load

3. The Gauge of Track

4.  Type of rails

5. Spacing of sleepers.

For India the ratio of the weight of rail in tonnes to the locomotive axle load in tonnes is fixed at 1: 510.

\(\frac{{{\rm{Weight\;of\;rail\;in\;tonnes}}}}{{{\rm{Locomotive\;axle\;load\;in\;tonnes}}}} = \frac{1}{{510}}{\rm{\;}}\)
