Braking distribution among front and rear brakes
It is observed that in vehicles either the distribution of weight over the two axles is equal, or the front axle carries more weight, the braking effect has to be more at the front wheels for efficient braking. It is seen that in general for achieving maximum efficiency, about 75% of the total braking effect should be on front wheels. However, in such case the trouble would arise while travelling over wet road. where hight braking effect at the front would cause skidding of front wheels, because of decrease of weight transfer. In practice, about 60% of the braking effort is applied on the front wheels.
How to Calculate Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle at Front Wheel?
Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle at Front Wheel calculator uses Horizontal Distance of C.G. From Rear Axle BFW = ((Vehicle Wheelbase BFW-Friction Coefficient Between Wheels And Ground BFW*Height of C.G of Vehicle BFW)*Normal Reaction at The Front Wheel BFW)/(Vehicle Weight BFW*cos(Road Inclination Angle BFW)) to calculate the Horizontal Distance of C.G. From Rear Axle BFW, Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle at Front Wheel formula is used to find the distance of the vehicle's center of gravity(C.G.) from the rear axle measured along with the wheelbase of the vehicle. Horizontal Distance of C.G. From Rear Axle BFW is denoted by x symbol.
How to calculate Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle at Front Wheel using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle at Front Wheel, enter Vehicle Wheelbase BFW (b), Friction Coefficient Between Wheels And Ground BFW (μ), Height of C.G of Vehicle BFW (h), Normal Reaction at The Front Wheel BFW (Rf), Vehicle Weight BFW (W) & Road Inclination Angle BFW (θ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle at Front Wheel calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.3 = ((2.4-0.58*0.0075)*7961.88)/(15000*cos(0.20943951023928)).
