Calculate the maximum permissible train load that can be pulled by a locomotive having 4 pairs of diving wheels, carrying an axle load of 22 tonnes each. The train has to run at a speed of 80 kmph on a straight level B.G track. Also calculate the reduction in speed if the train climbs a gradient of 1 in 150. If the train climbs the gradient with a 4° curve, then what should be the reduction in speed. Take μ=0.166.
