Lap of Flange given Extra Width of Track Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lap of Flange = sqrt((Extra Width*Radius of Curve/125)-Wheelbase)
L = sqrt((W_e*R/125)-W)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

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.
Extra Width - (Measured in Millimeter) - Extra width refers to the widened width of the track at curves.
Radius of Curve - (Measured in Millimeter) - Radius of Curve is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.
Wheelbase - (Measured in Millimeter) - Wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Extra Width: 2.18 Millimeter --> 2.18 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve: 344 Meter --> 344000 Millimeter (Check conversion here)
Wheelbase: 3500 Millimeter --> 3500 Millimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = sqrt((W_e*R/125)-W) --> sqrt((2.18*344000/125)-3500)

Evaluating ... ...

L = 49.9935995903476

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0499935995903476 Meter -->49.9935995903476 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

49.9935995903476 ≈ 49.9936 Millimeter <-- Lap of Flange
