Maximum Allowable Speed for a Train Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum velocity = sqrt(((Cant+Unbalanced Cant)*Radius of Curvature*Acceleration Due To Gravity)/Railtrack Gauge)
V = sqrt(((C_a+E_u)*r*g)/w)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - Squre root function, sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Cant - The cant of a railway is the rate of change in elevation (height) between the two rails or edges. (Measured in Millimeter)
Unbalanced Cant - Unbalanced Cant is the maximum allowed additional amount of cant that would be required by a train moving faster than the speed for which the cant was designed. (Measured in Millimeter)
Radius of Curvature - In differential geometry, the radius of curvature, R, is the reciprocal of the curvature. (Measured in Meter)
Acceleration Due To Gravity - The Acceleration Due To Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force. (Measured in Meter per Square Second)
Railtrack Gauge - Railtrack Gauge is defined as the clear minimum perpendicular distance between the inner faces of the two rails. (Measured in Millimeter)

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cant: 130 Millimeter --> 0.13 Meter (Check conversion here)
Unbalanced Cant: 25 Millimeter --> 0.025 Meter (Check conversion here)
Radius of Curvature: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required
Acceleration Due To Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Railtrack Gauge: 1524 Millimeter --> 1.524 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = sqrt(((C_a+E_u)*r*g)/w) --> sqrt(((0.13+0.025)*15*9.8)/1.524)

Evaluating ... ...

V = 3.86662480744833

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.86662480744833 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.86662480744833 Meter per Second <-- Maximum velocity
