hout calculations. For example, letus take the case just quoted. As the height of center of gravity, select the line repre-senting h at 70 inches, and at its intersection with ordinatethrough 7 at bottom (for rail elevation) read .56 for value c: —. As the curve in question was 6 degrees, we find… … Fig. 5. gram, care should be taken to associate the height of center ofgravity and the elevation of rail together, also the velocity andcurvature, as designated by formulae 6 and 7.) Thus 90 miles per hour is the speed at which the engine con-sidered would turn over by centrifugal force on a…
