Equilibrium Cant in Railways Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Equilibrium Cant in Railways = Gauge of Track*Speed of Vehicle on Track^2/(127*Radius of Curve)
e_eq = G*V^2/(127*R)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Equilibrium Cant in Railways - (Measured in Meter) - Equilibrium cant in railways is the difference between the height of the outer rail and the inner rail on a curve.
Gauge of Track - (Measured in Meter) - Gauge of track is the distance between the two rails of a railway 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

Gauge of Track: 1.6 Meter --> 1.6 Meter No Conversion Required
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_eq = G*V^2/(127*R) --> 1.6*81^2/(127*344)

Evaluating ... ...

e_eq = 0.240285661966673

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.240285661966673 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.240285661966673 ≈ 0.240286 Meter <-- Equilibrium Cant in Railways
