Weight of Vehicle given Kinetic Energy of Vehicle at Design Speed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Weight of Vehicle = (2*[g]*Maximum Frictional Force*Braking Distance)/Velocity^2
W = (2*[g]*F*l)/v_vehicle^2
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

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

Variables Used

Total Weight of Vehicle - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Weight of Vehicle is the total weight of a vehicle, including the weight of the vehicle itself and its cargo, at a given sight distance.
Maximum Frictional Force - (Measured in Newton) - Maximum Frictional Force is the maximum force that opposes motion on a surface, dependent on the sight distance available to a driver.
Braking Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Braking Distance is the distance travelled by the vehicle at the point where brake is applied to the point where it stops.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is the speed at which a vehicle is traveling, typically measured at a specific point in time or over a certain distance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Frictional Force: 194.6963 Newton --> 194.6963 Newton No Conversion Required
Braking Distance: 48 Meter --> 48 Meter No Conversion Required
Velocity: 28.23 Meter per Second --> 28.23 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = (2*[g]*F*l)/v_vehicle^2 --> (2*[g]*194.6963*48)/28.23^2

Evaluating ... ...

W = 230.000007727024

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

230.000007727024 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

230.000007727024 ≈ 230 Kilogram <-- Total Weight of Vehicle
