Degree of Curve in Railways Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Degree of Curve for Railways = (1720/Radius of Curve)*(pi/180)
D_c = (1720/R)*(pi/180)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Degree of Curve for Railways - (Measured in Radian) - Degree of curve for railways is the central angle subtended by the curve length of the railways.
Radius of Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Curve is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Radius of Curve: 344 Meter --> 344 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_c = (1720/R)*(pi/180) --> (1720/344)*(pi/180)

Evaluating ... ...

D_c = 0.0872664625997165

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0872664625997165 Radian -->5.00000000000094 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

5.00000000000094 ≈ 5 Degree <-- Degree of Curve for Railways
