Resistance Due to Gradients Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Resistance due to Gradients = Weight of Train*(Slope Percentage/100)
Rg = w_t*(m/100)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Resistance due to Gradients - Resistance due to Gradients is considered because whenever a train has to move along the rising gradient,first it has to experience and overcome resistance due to rising gradient.
Weight of Train - (Measured in Tonne) - Weight of Train is representing the amount of matter in a object(train).Here it is given in tonnes.
Slope Percentage - Slope Percentage /Gradient is the steepness of line and it is defined as the ratio of vertical change to the horizontal change between any two distinct points on a line.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Train: 1300 Tonne --> 1300 Tonne No Conversion Required
Slope Percentage: 2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Rg = w_t*(m/100) --> 1300*(2/100)

Evaluating ... ...

Total Train Resistance

Go Total Train Resistance = 0.0016*Weight of Train+0.00008*Weight of Train*Speed of Train+0.0000006*Weight of Train*Speed of Train^2

Resistance due to Acceleration

Go Resistance due to Acceleration = (0.028*Weight of Train)*(Final Velocity of The Train-Initial Velocity of Train)/(Time Taken to Achieve Final Velocity)

Distance Travelled by Outer Wheels of Railway Vehicle

Go The Distance Travelled by Outer Wheels = (Mean Radius of The Curve of Railway Track+(Gauge of Track/2))*(Angle Substended by Axle of Railway Vehicle)

Distance Travelled by Inner Wheels of Railway Vehicle

Go The Distance Travelled by Inner Wheels = (Mean Radius of The Curve of Railway Track-(Gauge of Track/2))*(Angle Substended by Axle of Railway Vehicle)

Coefficient of Friction for given Hauling Capacity of Locomotive

Go Coefficient of Friction for Locomotive = Hauling Capacity of a Locomotive/(Weight on Driving Axle*No of Pairs of Driving Wheels)

Hauling Capacity of Locomotive

Go Hauling Capacity of a Locomotive = Coefficient of Friction for Locomotive*Weight on Driving Axle*No of Pairs of Driving Wheels
