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 Weight of Vehicle on Front Wheel?
Weight of Vehicle on Front Wheel calculator uses Vehicle Weight BRW = Normal Reaction at Front Wheel BRW/((Vehicle Wheelbase BRW-Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle BRW)*cos(Road Inclination Angle BRW)/(Vehicle Wheelbase BRW+Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Ground BRW*Height of C.G. of Vehicle BRW)) to calculate the Vehicle Weight BRW, Weight of Vehicle on Front Wheel formula is used to find the heaviness of the vehicle. Vehicle Weight BRW is denoted by W symbol.
How to calculate Weight of Vehicle on Front Wheel using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Weight of Vehicle on Front Wheel, enter Normal Reaction at Front Wheel BRW (RF), Vehicle Wheelbase BRW (b), Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle BRW (x), Road Inclination Angle BRW (θ), Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Ground BRW (μ) & Height of C.G. of Vehicle BRW (h) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Weight of Vehicle on Front Wheel calculation can be explained with given input values -> 13000.91 = 7103/((2.7-1.2)*cos(0.1745329251994)/(2.7+0.48*0.007919)).
