Percent Grade given Grade Resistance for Motion on Slope Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Percent Grade = (Grade Resistance/(Grade Resistance Factor*Weight on Wheels))
PG = (G/(R_g*W))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Percent Grade - Percent Grade refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal.
Grade Resistance - (Measured in Newton) - Grade Resistance is the force, due to gravity, that resists the movement of a vehicle up a slope.
Grade Resistance Factor - (Measured in Newton per Kilogram) - Grade Resistance Factor is considered to have a grade resistance equal to 1% of the vehicle's weight.
Weight on Wheels - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight on Wheels is the weight of an equipment is resting on its wheels.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Grade Resistance: 9.99 Newton --> 9.99 Newton No Conversion Required
Grade Resistance Factor: 4.97 Newton per Kilogram --> 4.97 Newton per Kilogram No Conversion Required
Weight on Wheels: 20 Kilogram --> 20 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

PG = (G/(R_g*W)) --> (9.99/(4.97*20))

Evaluating ... ...

PG = 0.100503018108652

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.100503018108652 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.100503018108652 ≈ 0.100503 <-- Percent Grade

Rolling Resistance to Motion of Wheeled Vehicles

Go Rolling Resistance = (Rolling Resistance Factor*Weight on Wheels)+(Tire Penetration Factor*Tire Penetration*Weight on Wheels)

Weight on Wheels given Rolling Resistance

Go Weight on Wheels = (Rolling Resistance/(Rolling Resistance Factor+Tire Penetration Factor*Tire Penetration))

Total Road Resistance given Rolling Resistance and Grade Resistance

Go Total Road Resistance = ((0.02+0.015*Tire Penetration+0.01*Percent Grade)*Weight on Wheels)

Weight on Wheels given Total Road Resistance

Go Weight on Wheels = (Total Road Resistance/(0.02+0.015*Tire Penetration+0.01*Percent Grade))

Grade Resistance Factor given Grade Resistance for Motion on Slope

Go Grade Resistance Factor = (Grade Resistance/(Percent Grade*Weight on Wheels))

Weight on Wheels using Grade Resistance for Motion on Slope

Go Weight on Wheels = (Grade Resistance/(Grade Resistance Factor*Percent Grade))

Percent Grade given Grade Resistance for Motion on Slope

Go Percent Grade = (Grade Resistance/(Grade Resistance Factor*Weight on Wheels))

Grade Resistance for Motion on Slope

Go Grade Resistance = Grade Resistance Factor*Percent Grade*Weight on Wheels

Rolling Resistance when Rolling Resistance Factor is Two Percent

Go Rolling Resistance = (0.02+0.015*Tire Penetration)*Weight on Wheels
