Tractive Effort Required to Overcome Train Resistance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort = Specific Resistance Train*Weight of Train
F_or = R_sp*W
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort - (Measured in Newton) - Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort can either refer to the total traction a vehicle exerts on a surface or the amount of the total traction that is parallel to the direction of motion.
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.
Weight of Train - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight of Train is total weight of the train in tonns.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_or = R_sp*W --> 9.2*875.000100008866

Evaluating ... ...

F_or = 8050.00092008157

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8050.00092008157 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8050.00092008157 ≈ 8050.001 Newton <-- Resistance Overcome Tractive Effort
