Radius of Curve given Centrifugal Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Curve Radius = (Weight of Vehicle*Vehicle Velocity^2)/(Acceleration due to Gravity*Centrifugal Force)
R_Curve = (W*V^2)/(g*F_c)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Curve Radius - (Measured in Meter) - Curve Radius is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.
Weight of Vehicle - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of vehicle is the total safe weight of the vehicle which passes through the centre of gravity.
Vehicle Velocity - (Measured in Kilometer per Hour) - Vehicle Velocity can be described as the amount of distance vehicle travelled in a perticular time.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - The Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Centrifugal Force - (Measured in Newton) - Centrifugal Force is the apparent outward force on a mass when it is rotated.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Vehicle: 51 Kilogram --> 51 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Vehicle Velocity: 80 Kilometer per Hour --> 80 Kilometer per Hour No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Centrifugal Force: 163 Newton --> 163 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_Curve = (W*V^2)/(g*F_c) --> (51*80^2)/(9.8*163)

Evaluating ... ...

R_Curve = 204.332039564292

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

204.332039564292 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

204.332039564292 ≈ 204.332 Meter <-- Curve Radius
