Wheel Base given Extra Width Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wheelbase = (Extra Width*Radius of Curve/125)-Lap of Flange^2
W = (W_e*R/125)-L^2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Wheelbase - (Measured in Millimeter) - Wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels.
Extra Width - (Measured in Millimeter) - Extra width refers to the widened width of the track at curves.
Radius of Curve - (Measured in Millimeter) - Radius of Curve is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.
Lap of Flange - (Measured in Millimeter) - Lap of flange refers to the projecting edge or rim on the circumference of a steel wheel that is designed to keep the wheel on a rail.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Extra Width: 2.18 Millimeter --> 2.18 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Radius of Curve: 344 Meter --> 344000 Millimeter (Check conversion here)
Lap of Flange: 50 Millimeter --> 50 Millimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = (W_e*R/125)-L^2 --> (2.18*344000/125)-50^2

Evaluating ... ...

W = 3499.36

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.49936 Meter -->3499.36 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3499.36 Millimeter <-- Wheelbase

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Why Extra Widening is provided at curves?

Extra Width is the result of extra widening of the pavement at the curves. There is a tendency of the driver to take the outer path at the curves to have more sight distance visible ahead. While overtaking operations on horizontal curves driver will need more spacing from the other vehicles to feel safer.
