Number of Crossing (N) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Number of Crossing = Spread at Leg of Crossing/Length of Crossing from TNC
N = S/L_c
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Number of Crossing - Number of Crossing - Crossing or ‘frog’ is a device that provides two flangeways through which the wheels of the flanges may move when two rails intersect each other at an angle.
Spread at Leg of Crossing - (Measured in Meter) - Spread at Leg of Crossing is the distance between the spread of legs of crossing.
Length of Crossing from TNC - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Crossing from TNC is the distance of TNC from crossing point.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Spread at Leg of Crossing: 28 Centimeter --> 0.28 Meter (Check conversion here)
Length of Crossing from TNC: 2 Centimeter --> 0.02 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N = S/L_c --> 0.28/0.02

Evaluating ... ...

N = 14

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

14 <-- Number of Crossing
