Braking distribution among front and rear brakes
It is observed that in vehicles either the distribution of weight over the two axles is equal, or the front axle carries more weight, the braking effect has to be more at the front wheels for efficient braking. It is seen that in general for achieving maximum efficiency, about 75% of the total braking effect should be on front wheels. However, in such case the trouble would arise while travelling over wet road. where hight braking effect at the front would cause skidding of front wheels, because of decrease of weight transfer. In practice, about 60% of the braking effort is applied on the front wheels.
How to Calculate Height of C.G. from Road Surface on Rear Wheel?
Height of C.G. from Road Surface on Rear Wheel calculator uses Height of C.G. of Vehicle BRW = (Normal Reaction at Rear Wheel BRW*Vehicle Wheelbase BRW-Vehicle Weight BRW*Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle BRW*cos(Road Inclination Angle BRW))/(Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Ground BRW*(Vehicle Weight BRW*cos(Road Inclination Angle BRW)-Normal Reaction at Rear Wheel BRW)) to calculate the Height of C.G. of Vehicle BRW, Height of C.G. from Road Surface on Rear Wheel formula is used to find the height of the theoretical point where the sum of all of the masses of each of its individual components effectively acts. Height of C.G. of Vehicle BRW is denoted by h symbol.
How to calculate Height of C.G. from Road Surface on Rear Wheel using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Height of C.G. from Road Surface on Rear Wheel, enter Normal Reaction at Rear Wheel BRW (RR), Vehicle Wheelbase BRW (b), Vehicle Weight BRW (W), Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle BRW (x), Road Inclination Angle BRW (θ) & Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Ground BRW (μ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Height of C.G. from Road Surface on Rear Wheel calculation can be explained with given input values -> -0.043283 = (5700*2.7-13000*1.2*cos(0.1745329251994))/(0.48*(13000*cos(0.1745329251994)-5700)).
