Retardation of Vehicle when Vehicle Moves on Level Track if Brakes are Applied to Front Wheels only Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Retardation of Vehicle = (Coefficient of Friction for Brake*Acceleration due to Gravity*Perpendicular Distance of C.G)/(Distance between Center of Rear and Front Wheels-Coefficient of Friction for Brake*Height of C.G. of Vehicle)
a = (μ_brake*g*x)/(L-μ_brake*h)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Retardation of Vehicle - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Retardation of vehicle is the rate of decrease of velocity of a vehicle with respect to time, usually measured in meters per second squared.
Coefficient of Friction for Brake - Coefficient of Friction for Brake Retardation is a measure of the frictional force that opposes the motion of a vehicle, slowing it down during braking.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is the rate at which the velocity of an object decreases as it moves under the influence of gravity, slowing down the vehicle.
Perpendicular Distance of C.G - (Measured in Meter) - Perpendicular distance of C.G is the shortest distance from the centre of gravity of a vehicle to the point where it is pivoted during retardation.
Distance between Center of Rear and Front Wheels - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Center of Rear and Front Wheels is the length between the center of the rear wheel and the center of the front wheel of a vehicle.
Height of C.G. of Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Height of C.G. of Vehicle is the vertical distance of the center of gravity from the ground level of a vehicle, affecting its stability and balance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Friction for Brake: 0.92 --> No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Perpendicular Distance of C.G: 0.2 Meter --> 0.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance between Center of Rear and Front Wheels: 360 Meter --> 360 Meter No Conversion Required
Height of C.G. of Vehicle: 0.4 Meter --> 0.4 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a = (μ_brake*g*x)/(L-μ_brake*h) --> (0.92*9.8*0.2)/(360-0.92*0.4)

Evaluating ... ...

a = 0.00501401432575522

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00501401432575522 Meter per Square Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00501401432575522 ≈ 0.005014 Meter per Square Second <-- Retardation of Vehicle
