Length of Single Rail at given Number of Rails per km Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Single Rail = (1000/Number of Rails per Km)*2
L = (1000/N)*2
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Single Rail - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Single Rail Indian Railways has standardized a rail length of 13 m (previously 12.8 m) for broad gauge and 12 m (previously 11.8 m) for MG and NG tracks.
Number of Rails per Km - Number of Rails per Km is the total number of rails in one kilometer or 1000m.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Rails per Km: 154 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = (1000/N)*2 --> (1000/154)*2

Evaluating ... ...

L = 12.987012987013

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.987012987013 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.987012987013 ≈ 12.98701 Meter <-- Length of Single Rail

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Weight of Rails per km

LaTeX Go Weight of Rails per Km = Number of Rails per Km*Length of Single Rail*Weight of Rail per Meter/1000

Number of Sleepers per km

LaTeX Go Number of Sleepers per Km = (Length of Single Rail+Density Factor)*(Number of Rails per Km)/2

Sleeper Density

LaTeX Go Sleeper Density = Length of Single Rail+Density Factor

Number of Rails per km

LaTeX Go Number of Rails per Km = (1000/Length of Single Rail)*2
