Weight on Wheels given Total Road Resistance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight on Wheels = (Total Road Resistance/(0.02+0.015*Tire Penetration+0.01*Percent Grade))
W = (T/(0.02+0.015*p+0.01*PG))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Weight on Wheels - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight on Wheels is the weight of an equipment is resting on its wheels.
Total Road Resistance - (Measured in Newton) - Total Road Resistance is the sum of the resistance from all the wheels.
Tire Penetration - (Measured in Meter) - Tire Penetration is the penetration depth of tire rubber into the road.
Percent Grade - Percent Grade refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Road Resistance: 8 Newton --> 8 Newton No Conversion Required
Tire Penetration: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Percent Grade: 4 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = (T/(0.02+0.015*p+0.01*PG)) --> (8/(0.02+0.015*5+0.01*4))

Evaluating ... ...

W = 59.2592592592593

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

59.2592592592593 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

59.2592592592593 ≈ 59.25926 Kilogram <-- Weight on Wheels
