Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = (v × v) ÷ r
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Variable Legend

Symbol Parameter Unit
v Velocity (v) m/s
r Radius (r) m

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Velocity (v) = 35 m/s
  • Radius (r) = 50 m

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = (35 × 35) ÷ 50
