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. using Retardation on Rear Wheel?
Height of C.G. using Retardation on Rear Wheel calculator uses Height of C.G. of Vehicle BRW = ((Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Ground BRW*(Vehicle Wheelbase BRW-Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle BRW)*cos(Road Inclination Angle BRW))/((Braking Retardation BRW/[g])+sin(Road Inclination Angle BRW))-Vehicle Wheelbase BRW)/Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Ground BRW to calculate the Height of C.G. of Vehicle BRW, Height of C.G. using Retardation 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. using Retardation on Rear Wheel using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Height of C.G. using Retardation on Rear Wheel, enter Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Ground BRW (μ), Vehicle Wheelbase BRW (b), Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle BRW (x), Road Inclination Angle BRW (θ) & Braking Retardation BRW (a) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Height of C.G. using Retardation on Rear Wheel calculation can be explained with given input values -> -1.073658 = ((0.48*(2.7-1.2)*cos(0.1745329251994))/((0.86885/[g])+sin(0.1745329251994))-2.7)/0.48.
