Diameter of Wheel given Lap of Flange Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter of Wheel = ((Lap of Flange/2)^2-Depth of Wheel Flange^2)/Depth of Wheel Flange
D = ((L/2)^2-H^2)/H
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Diameter of Wheel - (Measured in Millimeter) - Diameter of wheel is the length of the wheel (diameter) of the train.
Lap of Flange - (Measured in Millimeter) - Lap of flange refers to the projecting edge or rim on the circumference of a steel wheel that is designed to keep the wheel on a rail.
Depth of Wheel Flange - (Measured in Millimeter) - Depth of wheel flange is the vertical distance of wheel flange .

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lap of Flange: 50 Millimeter --> 50 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Depth of Wheel Flange: 20 Millimeter --> 20 Millimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D = ((L/2)^2-H^2)/H --> ((50/2)^2-20^2)/20

Evaluating ... ...

D = 11.25

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.01125 Meter -->11.25 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

11.25 Millimeter <-- Diameter of Wheel

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
