Weight on Drivers given Usable Pull Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight on Wheels = (Usable Pull/Coefficient of Traction)
W = (P/f)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Weight on Wheels - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight on Wheels is the weight of an equipment is resting on its wheels.
Usable Pull - (Measured in Newton) - Usable Pull is a physical force or an attraction that makes somebody or something move in a particular direction.
Coefficient of Traction - Coefficient of Traction is the ratio of the maximum tractive force to the normal force.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Usable Pull: 18 Newton --> 18 Newton No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Traction: 0.9 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = (P/f) --> (18/0.9)

Evaluating ... ...

W = 20

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

20 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

20 Kilogram <-- Weight on Wheels

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Rolling Resistance to Motion of Wheeled Vehicles

Go Rolling Resistance = (Rolling Resistance Factor*Weight on Wheels)+(Tire Penetration Factor*Tire Penetration*Weight on Wheels)

Weight on Wheels given Rolling Resistance

Go Weight on Wheels = (Rolling Resistance/(Rolling Resistance Factor+Tire Penetration Factor*Tire Penetration))

Grade Resistance for Motion on Slope

Go Grade Resistance = Grade Resistance Factor*Percent Grade*Weight on Wheels

Rolling Resistance when Rolling Resistance Factor is Two Percent

Go Rolling Resistance (Rolling Resistance Factor 2%) = (0.02+0.015*Tire Penetration)*Weight on Wheels

Weight on Drivers given Usable Pull Formula

Weight on Wheels = (Usable Pull/Coefficient of Traction)
W = (P/f)

What is Coefficient of Traction?

Traction can also refer to the maximum tractive force between a body and a surface, as limited by available friction; when this is the case, traction is often expressed as the ratio of the maximum tractive force to the normal force and is termed the coefficient of traction (similar to coefficient of friction).

How to Calculate Weight on Drivers given Usable Pull?
