Velocity given Length Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Vehicle Velocity
Vehicle Velocity can be described as the amount of distance a vehicle traveled in a particular time.
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: km/h
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Length of Curve
Length of Curve is determined by the permissible rate of change of grade or from centrifugal consideration as appropriate.
Symbol: Lc
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Allowable Centrifugal Acceleration
Allowable Centrifugal Acceleration is the maximum limit for the centrifugal acceleration for comfort travel through vertical curves.
Symbol: f
Measurement: AccelerationUnit: m/s²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Upgrade
Upgrade is the gradient or the slope which is towards the crest of a curve. Mentioned by %.
Symbol: g1
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Downgrade
Downgrade is the gradient or the slope which is guided to the downward direction of a curve. Mentioned by %.
Symbol: g2
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)

How to Evaluate Velocity given Length?

Velocity given Length evaluator uses Vehicle Velocity = sqrt((Length of Curve*100*Allowable Centrifugal Acceleration)/(Upgrade-(Downgrade))) to evaluate the Vehicle Velocity, Velocity given Length is defined as vehicle velocity to be maintained when rate of acceleration and change in gradient of vertical curve are provided. Vehicle Velocity is denoted by V symbol.

How to evaluate Velocity given Length using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Velocity given Length, enter Length of Curve (Lc), Allowable Centrifugal Acceleration (f), Upgrade (g1) & Downgrade (g2) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Velocity given Length

What is the formula to find Velocity given Length?
The formula of Velocity given Length is expressed as Vehicle Velocity = sqrt((Length of Curve*100*Allowable Centrifugal Acceleration)/(Upgrade-(Downgrade))). Here is an example- 359.8054 = sqrt((616*100*0.6)/(2.2-((-1.5)))).
How to calculate Velocity given Length?
With Length of Curve (Lc), Allowable Centrifugal Acceleration (f), Upgrade (g1) & Downgrade (g2) we can find Velocity given Length using the formula - Vehicle Velocity = sqrt((Length of Curve*100*Allowable Centrifugal Acceleration)/(Upgrade-(Downgrade))). This formula also uses Square Root Function function(s).
Can the Velocity given Length be negative?
Yes, the Velocity given Length, measured in Speed can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Velocity given Length?
Velocity given Length is usually measured using the Kilometer per Hour[km/h] for Speed. Meter per Second[km/h], Meter per Minute[km/h], Meter per Hour[km/h] are the few other units in which Velocity given Length can be measured.
