Equilibrium Cant for BG Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Equilibrium Cant for Broad Gauge = 1.676*Speed of Vehicle on Track^2/(127*Radius of Curve)
e_bg = 1.676*V^2/(127*R)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Equilibrium Cant for Broad Gauge - (Measured in Meter) - Equilibrium cant for broad gauge is the difference between the height of the outer rail and the inner rail on a curve in case of broad gauge track.
Speed of Vehicle on Track - (Measured in Kilometer per Hour) - Speed of vehicle on track is the speed of train moving on given track.
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

Speed of Vehicle on Track: 81 Kilometer per Hour --> 81 Kilometer per Hour No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve: 344 Meter --> 344 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e_bg = 1.676*V^2/(127*R) --> 1.676*81^2/(127*344)

Evaluating ... ...

e_bg = 0.25169923091009

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.25169923091009 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.25169923091009 ≈ 0.251699 Meter <-- Equilibrium Cant for Broad Gauge
