Vehicle Velocity given Minimum Length of Spiral Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Vehicle Velocity = ((Minimum Length of Spiral*Radius of Curve*Rate of Increase of Radial Acceleration)/3.15)^(1/3)
V_v = ((L*R_t*a_c)/3.15)^(1/3)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Vehicle Velocity - (Measured in Kilometer per Hour) - The Vehicle Velocity is referred as amount of distance vehicle travelled in a particular time.
Minimum Length of Spiral - (Measured in Meter) - The Minimum Length of Spiral is defined as a horizontal circular curve, a vehicle and its contents are immediately subjected to centrifugal forces.
Radius of Curve - (Measured in Meter) - The Radius of Curve is defined as the horizontal curve with a specific radius which quantifies smoothness and ease of vehicle movement through a curve.
Rate of Increase of Radial Acceleration - The Rate of Increase of Radial Acceleration is referred as gradual increase in acceleration experienced by an object moving in a circular path.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Length of Spiral: 361.83 Meter --> 361.83 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve: 300 Meter --> 300 Meter No Conversion Required
Rate of Increase of Radial Acceleration: 2 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_v = ((L*R_t*a_c)/3.15)^(1/3) --> ((361.83*300*2)/3.15)^(1/3)

Evaluating ... ...

V_v = 40.9998017043751

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11.3888338067709 Meter per Second -->40.9998017043751 Kilometer per Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

40.9998017043751 ≈ 40.9998 Kilometer per Hour <-- Vehicle Velocity
