Cant given Width of Pavement Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cant = Pavement Width*Vehicle Velocity^2/(Radius of Curve*Acceleration due to Gravity)
h = B*V^2/(R*g)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Cant - (Measured in Centimeter) - Cant of a railway track or camber of a road (also referred to as super elevation, cross slope or cross fall) is the rate of change in elevation (height) between the two rails or edges.
Pavement Width - (Measured in Centimeter) - Pavement width is the breadth of the highway pavement.
Vehicle Velocity - (Measured in Kilometer per Hour) - Vehicle Velocity can be described as the amount of distance vehicle travelled in a perticular time.
Radius of Curve - (Measured in Centimeter) - Radius of Curve is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - The Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pavement Width: 6.9 Meter --> 690 Centimeter (Check conversion here)
Vehicle Velocity: 80 Kilometer per Hour --> 80 Kilometer per Hour No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve: 50 Meter --> 5000 Centimeter (Check conversion here)
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h = B*V^2/(R*g) --> 690*80^2/(5000*9.8)

Evaluating ... ...

h = 90.1224489795918

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.901224489795918 Meter -->90.1224489795918 Centimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

90.1224489795918 ≈ 90.12245 Centimeter <-- Cant

What is Equilibrium Cant?

In the case of railways, if the super elevation is provided as is given by the super elevation equation, the load distributed on the two rails will be equal, consequently the springs of the train will be equally compressed, and it will be in a state of balance or equilibrium. Such a cant is called equilibrium cant
