Help with Acceleration Formula

by Barry J. Acho » Wed, 06 Jul 1994 12:15:56

I am in need of some help in deriving a formula for the acceleration
of a truck. I am a programmer writing a program which will be used as
a truck-driving simulator for a training school but dynamics is not my
strong point.  I would appreciate any help with a formula to derive the
current acceleration taking into account the mass of the vehicle, power
of the engine, torque of the engine, surface incline, and the gear ratio
of the transmission.  Please leave a response on this newsgroup or via
e-mail.  

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
