Tractive Effort Required during Free-Running Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Free Run Tractive Effort = (98.1*Weight of Train*Gradient)+(Weight of Train*Specific Resistance Train)
F_free = (98.1*W*G)+(W*R_sp)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Free Run Tractive Effort - (Measured in Newton) - Free Run Tractive Effort is refers to the pulling or pushing force that a vehicle or locomotive needs to overcome resistance and move forward.
Weight of Train - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Train is total weight of the train in tonns.
Gradient - The Gradient is simply the product of the sine angle and constant 100 for the train. It is expressed in the percentage of the rise in meters in the track distance of 100 metres.
Specific Resistance Train - Specific Resistance Train is defined in terms of force required to encounter resistance arising due to vehicle, track, grade, curve, acceleration, wind at different time and place etc.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Train: 30000 Ton (Assay) (US) --> 875.000100008866 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Gradient: 0.52 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Resistance Train: 9.2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_free = (98.1*W*G)+(W*R_sp) --> (98.1*875.000100008866*0.52)+(875.000100008866*9.2)

Evaluating ... ...

F_free = 52685.5060217338

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

52685.5060217338 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

52685.5060217338 ≈ 52685.51 Newton <-- Free Run Tractive Effort
