A railway line is taken round a circular arc of radius $1000\ m$, and is banked by raising the outer rail $h\  m$ above the inner rail. If the lateral force on the inner rail when a train travels round the curve at $10 \ ms^{-1}$ is equal to the lateral force on the outer rail when the train's speed is $20\  ms^{-1}$. The value of $4g\  tan\theta$  is equal to : (The distance between the rails is $1.5 \  m$).

Assuming the coefficient of friction between the road and tyres of a car to be $0.5$, the maximum speed with which the car can move round a curve of $40.0\, m$ radius without slipping, if the road is unbanked, should be ......... $m/s$
