Question
A train having 20 wagons weighing 18 tonnes each is to run at a
speed of 50 kmph. The tractive effort of a 2-8-2 locomotive with 22.5
tonnes load on each driving axle is 15 tonnes. The weight of
locomotive is 120 tonnes. Rolling resistances of wagons and
locomotive are 2.5 kg/tonne and 3.5 kg/ tonne respectively. The
resistances which depend upon the speed. Are computed as 2.65
tonnes. Find out the steepest gradient for these conditions.
