"As the train moves on curvilinear path,a centrifugal force"As the train moves on curvilinear path,a centrifugal force
"occurs on the pendulum bob."occurs on the pendulum bob.

tan theta=(m*v^2/r)/(mg)tanθ=mv2rmg

tan theta=cancel(m)*v^2/r*1/(cancel(m)g)

tan theta=v^2/(r g)

v^2=r g tan theta

v:"speed of train"

r:400 m

theta:5^o

g:9.81" "N/(kg)

v^2=400*9.81*tan 5^o

v^2=343.31

v=sqrt(343.31)

v=18.53" "m/s
