Retardation of Train Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Retardation of Train = Crest Speed/Time for Retardation
β = V_m/t_β
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Retardation of Train - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Retardation of Train is the rate of change in velocity to the change in time but have negative velocity or decrease in velocity.
Crest Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Crest Speed is the maximum speed attained by the train during the run.
Time for Retardation - (Measured in Second) - The Time for Retardation formula is defined as the ratio between the maximum speed (crest speed) of the train Vm and retardation of the train β .

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Crest Speed: 98.35 Kilometer per Hour --> 27.3194444444444 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Time for Retardation: 9.49 Second --> 9.49 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

β = V_m/t_β --> 27.3194444444444/9.49

Evaluating ... ...

β = 2.87876126917222

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.87876126917222 Meter per Square Second -->10.3635405690117 Kilometer per Hour Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

10.3635405690117 ≈ 10.36354 Kilometer per Hour Second <-- Retardation of Train

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
