Extra Track Width in Curves Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Extra Track Width in Curves?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

W e = (W + L^{2}) \cdot \frac{125}{R}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

W e = (3500mm + {50mm}^{2}) \cdot \frac{125}{344m}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

W e = (3500mm + {50mm}^{2}) \cdot \frac{125}{344000mm}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

W e = (3500 + 50^{2}) \cdot \frac{125}{344000}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

W e = 0.00218023255813953m

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

W e = 2.18023255813953mm

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

W e = 2.1802mm
