Maximum Theoretical Cant in Railways Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Theoretical Cant = Maximum Equilibrium Cant+Cant Deficiency
e_Thmax = e_Eqmax+D_Cant
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Theoretical Cant - (Measured in Centimeter) - Maximum Theoretical Cant is the maximum amount by which one rail is raised above the other rail.
Maximum Equilibrium Cant - (Measured in Centimeter) - Maximum equilibrium cant is the maximum amount by which one rail is raised above the other rail in equilibrium.
Cant Deficiency - (Measured in Centimeter) - Cant Deficiency is the difference between the actual cant provided and equilibrium cant necessary for the maximum permissible speed on a curve.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Equilibrium Cant: 10 Centimeter --> 10 Centimeter No Conversion Required
Cant Deficiency: 5 Centimeter --> 5 Centimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e_Thmax = e_Eqmax+D_Cant --> 10+5

Evaluating ... ...

e_Thmax = 15

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.15 Meter -->15 Centimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

15 Centimeter <-- Maximum Theoretical Cant

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Equilibrium Cant in Railways

LaTeX Go Equilibrium Cant in Railways = Gauge of Track*Speed of Vehicle on Track^2/(127*Radius of Curve)

Equilibrium Cant for BG

LaTeX Go Equilibrium Cant for Broad Gauge = 1.676*Speed of Vehicle on Track^2/(127*Radius of Curve)

Radius for given Degree of Curve in Railways

LaTeX Go Radius of Curve = (1720/Degree of Curve for Railways)*(pi/180)

Degree of Curve in Railways

LaTeX Go Degree of Curve for Railways = (1720/Radius of Curve)*(pi/180)

Maximum Theoretical Cant in Railways Formula

LaTeX Go

Maximum Theoretical Cant = Maximum Equilibrium Cant+Cant Deficiency
e_Thmax = e_Eqmax+D_Cant

Maximum Theoretical cant in railways

The Maximum theoretical cant in railways is defined as the maximum amount by which one rail is raised above the other rail. It is positive when the outer rail on a curved track is raised above inner rail and is negative when the inner rail on a curved track is raised above the outer rail.
