Speed given Speed Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Speed of Train = Speed Factor*(18.2*sqrt(Track Modulus))
V_t = F_sf*(18.2*sqrt(k))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Speed of Train - (Measured in Kilometer per Hour) - Speed of Train is the rate at which the object covers a specific distance.
Speed Factor - Speed Factor is a value which is used to change the static rail load to a dynamic rail load.
Track Modulus - (Measured in Kilogram-Force per Square Meter) - Track modulus is the vertical stiffness of rail foundation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Speed Factor: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Track Modulus: 15 Kilogram-Force per Square Meter --> 15 Kilogram-Force per Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_t = F_sf*(18.2*sqrt(k)) --> 2*(18.2*sqrt(15))

Evaluating ... ...

V_t = 140.97659380195

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

39.1601649449861 Meter per Second -->140.97659380195 Kilometer per Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

140.97659380195 ≈ 140.9766 Kilometer per Hour <-- Speed of Train

(Calculation completed in 00.010 seconds)

Speed given Speed Factor Formula

LaTeX Go

Speed of Train = Speed Factor*(18.2*sqrt(Track Modulus))
V_t = F_sf*(18.2*sqrt(k))

What is Track Modulus?

Track modulus, like the modulus of elasticity, is an index of measurement of resistance to deformation. It is defined as the load in kilograms per unit rail length required to produce one unit depression in the rail bottom. The unit of track modulus is kg/cm^2.
