Height for Straight Line Camber Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Camber = (Pavement Width)/(Elevation Difference*2)
H_c = (B)/(h_Elevation*2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Height of Camber - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Camber is the distance between the lowest and highest points of a person/ shape/ object standing upright.
Pavement Width - (Measured in Meter) - Pavement width is the breadth of the highway pavement.
Elevation Difference - (Measured in Meter) - The elevation difference at ends of measured length.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pavement Width: 6.9 Meter --> 6.9 Meter No Conversion Required
Elevation Difference: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_c = (B)/(h_Elevation*2) --> (6.9)/(3*2)

Evaluating ... ...

H_c = 1.15

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.15 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.15 Meter <-- Height of Camber

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
