Braking Efficiency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Braking Efficiency = (Braking Force on Brake Drum/Weight of Vehicle)*100
η = (F/W)*100
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Braking Efficiency - Braking Efficiency is defined as the braking force produced as a percentage of the total weight of the vehicle.
Braking Force on Brake Drum - (Measured in Newton) - Braking Force on Brake Drum is defined as the force acting on the brake drum by the brake shoe when the braking is actuated by the driver.
Weight of Vehicle - (Measured in Newton) - Weight of Vehicle is the heaviness of the vehicle, generally expressed in Newtons.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Braking Force on Brake Drum: 7800 Newton --> 7800 Newton No Conversion Required
Weight of Vehicle: 13000 Newton --> 13000 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η = (F/W)*100 --> (7800/13000)*100

Evaluating ... ...

η = 60

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

60 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

60 <-- Braking Efficiency

Assumed Initial Roll Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate

LaTeX Go Assumed Initial Roll Rate = (Required Anti Roll Bar Rate+Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)*(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)/(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2+Required Anti Roll Bar Rate+Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)

Tyre Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate

LaTeX Go Tyre Vertical Rate = (((Required Anti Roll Bar Rate+Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)*Assumed Initial Roll Rate)/((Required Anti Roll Bar Rate+Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)-Assumed Initial Roll Rate))*2/Track Width of Vehicle^2

Wheel Centre Rate given Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate

LaTeX Go Wheel Centre Rate = (Assumed Initial Roll Rate*(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)/(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2-Assumed Initial Roll Rate)-Required Anti Roll Bar Rate)/((Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)

Required Anti-Roll Bar Rate

LaTeX Go Required Anti Roll Bar Rate = Assumed Initial Roll Rate*(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2)/(Tyre Vertical Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2-Assumed Initial Roll Rate)-Wheel Centre Rate*(Track Width of Vehicle^2)/2

Braking Efficiency Formula

LaTeX Go

Braking Efficiency = (Braking Force on Brake Drum/Weight of Vehicle)*100
η = (F/W)*100

What is braking efficiency?

The braking efficiency is the ability of the brake to reduce the vehicle speed up to a possible stop, to maintain a certain speed of the descending vehicle on a slope, or to keep the vehicle on a slope. Braking efficiency means the maximum braking force capable of being developed by the brakes of a vehicle, expressed as a percentage of the weight of the vehicle including any persons or load carried in the vehicle.

How to Calculate Braking Efficiency?

Braking Efficiency calculator uses Braking Efficiency = (Braking Force on Brake Drum/Weight of Vehicle)*100 to calculate the Braking Efficiency, The Braking efficiency formula is defined as the braking force produced as a percentage of the total weight of the vehicle. Braking Efficiency is denoted by η symbol.

How to calculate Braking Efficiency using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Braking Efficiency, enter Braking Force on Brake Drum (F) & Weight of Vehicle (W) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Braking Efficiency calculation can be explained with given input values -> 60 = (7800/13000)*100.
