All Wheel Braking Retardation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Retardation Produced by Braking = [g]*(Friction Coefficient Between Wheels and Ground*cos(Inclination Angle of Road)-sin(Inclination Angle of Road))
a = [g]*(μ*cos(θ)-sin(θ))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Retardation Produced by Braking - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Retardation Produced by Braking is the negative acceleration of the vehicle which reduces its speed.
Friction Coefficient Between Wheels and Ground - Friction Coefficient between Wheels and Ground is the friction coefficient which is generated between wheels and ground when the brakes are applied.
Inclination Angle of Road - (Measured in Radian) - Inclination Angle of Road is the angle which the road surface is making with the horizontal.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Friction Coefficient Between Wheels and Ground: 0.49 --> No Conversion Required
Inclination Angle of Road: 5 Degree --> 0.0872664625997001 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a = [g]*(μ*cos(θ)-sin(θ)) --> [g]*(0.49*cos(0.0872664625997001)-sin(0.0872664625997001))

Evaluating ... ...

a = 3.93226717604414

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.93226717604414 Meter per Square Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.93226717604414 ≈ 3.932267 Meter per Square Second <-- Retardation Produced by Braking

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

How weight transfer occurs during braking?

The inertial force acts at the centre of gravity of the vehicle, while the retarding force due to the application of brakes acts at the road surface. These two forms an overturning couple. This overturning couple increases the perpendicular force between the front wheels and ground by an amount, while the perpendicular force between rear wheels and ground is decreased by an equal amount. Some of the vehicle weight is thus transferred from the rear to the front axle.

How the braking distribution occurs 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.
