Tractive Effort Required to Overcome Effect of Gravity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Gravity Tractive Effort = 1000*Weight of Train*[g]*sin(Angle D)
F_g = 1000*W*[g]*sin(∠D)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)

Variables Used

Gravity Tractive Effort - (Measured in Newton) - Gravity Tractive Effort of gravity effect is overcome the effect of gravity, a tractive effort must be greater than the weight of the vehicle or load being moved.
Weight of Train - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Train is total weight of the train in tonns.
Angle D - (Measured in Radian) - The angle D is the space between two intersecting lines or surfaces at or close to the point where they meet.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Train: 30000 Ton (Assay) (US) --> 875.000100008866 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Angle D: 0.3 Degree --> 0.005235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_g = 1000*W*[g]*sin(∠D) --> 1000*875.000100008866*[g]*sin(0.005235987755982)

Evaluating ... ...

F_g = 44928.8617541402

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

44928.8617541402 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

44928.8617541402 ≈ 44928.86 Newton <-- Gravity Tractive Effort
