Superelevation due to Varying Entrance Channel Cross-Section Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Superelevation due to Varying Entrance Channel Cross-Section?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

S = a o \cdot (1 - (\frac{{(\frac{a B}{a o})}^{2}}{4 \cdot (\frac{D t}{a o})}) - (\frac{a o}{m \cdot W}) \cdot (0.5 - (\frac{a B}{a o}) \cdot \cos (k) - ((\frac{3}{2}) \cdot {(\frac{a B}{a o})}^{2}) + 4 \cdot {(\frac{D t}{a o})}^{2}))

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

S = 4m \cdot (1 - (\frac{{(\frac{3.7}{4m})}^{2}}{4 \cdot (\frac{5.01m}{4m})}) - (\frac{4m}{1.5 \cdot 52m}) \cdot (0.5 - (\frac{3.7}{4m}) \cdot \cos (185.2) - ((\frac{3}{2}) \cdot {(\frac{3.7}{4m})}^{2}) + 4 \cdot {(\frac{5.01m}{4m})}^{2}))

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

S = 4 \cdot (1 - (\frac{{(\frac{3.7}{4})}^{2}}{4 \cdot (\frac{5.01}{4})}) - (\frac{4}{1.5 \cdot 52}) \cdot (0.5 - (\frac{3.7}{4}) \cdot \cos (185.2) - ((\frac{3}{2}) \cdot {(\frac{3.7}{4})}^{2}) + 4 \cdot {(\frac{5.01}{4})}^{2}))
