What is Rolling Resistance?
Rolling resistance, sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the force resisting the motion when a body rolls on a surface. It is mainly caused by non-elastic effects; that is, not all the energy needed for deformation of the wheel, roadbed, etc., is recovered when the pressure is removed.
How to Calculate Weight on Wheels given Rolling Resistance?
Weight on Wheels given Rolling Resistance calculator uses Weight on Wheels = (Rolling Resistance/(Rolling Resistance Factor+Tire Penetration Factor*Tire Penetration)) to calculate the Weight on Wheels, The Weight on Wheels given Rolling Resistance formula is defined as the total vertical force exerted by a vehicle onto its wheels, calculated based on the rolling resistance. Weight on Wheels is denoted by W symbol.
