d) |
Train |

(d) Since, earth from west to east, so train |
has effectively more angular velocity in comparison to train 
and hence, experiences a greater centrifugal force directed radially outwards. So, train 
will exert a lesser force on track 
in comparison to train 
. Hence, 
exerts greater force on track
