A four wheeled trolley car has a total mass 3000kg. Each axle with its two wheels and gears has a total moment of inertia of 32kgm2. Each wheel is of 400mm radius. The centre distance between the two wheels on an axle is 1.4m. Each axle is driven by a motor with a speed ratio of 1.3. Each along with it gear has a moment of inertia of 16kgm2 and rotates in the opposite direction to that of the axle. The centre of mass of the car is 1m above the rails. Calculate the limiting speed of the car when it has to travel around a curve of 250m radius without the wheels leaving the road.

A four wheeled trolley car has a total mass 3000kg. Each axle with its two wheels and gears has a total moment of inertia of 32kgm2. Each wheel is of 400mm radius. The centre distance between the two wheels on an axle is 1.4m. Each axle is driven by a motor with a speed ratio of 1.3. Each along with it gear has a moment of inertia of 16kgm2 and rotates in the opposite direction to that of the axle. The centre of mass of the car is 1m above the rails. Calculate the limiting speed of the car when it has to travel around a curve of 250m radius without the wheels leaving the road.
