Determine the maximum permissible weight of the train which can perform the above duties ?



An electric train is required to be driven up an inclined plane having a gradient of 0.5% at a speed to 40 km per hour. The train resistance at this speed is 40 N per tonne. If the power taken by the motor from the traction network is 200 kw. Determine the maximum permissible weight of the train which can perform the above duties. Assume the combined efficiency of the motor and the gearing system as 75%.
