Explain this Jow Forums

Hiker here, I'm happy when a trail snakes up a steep hill because walking straight up them can be very exhausting but snaking is far less strenuous.
This looks like a driving road and it's probably in an area that they needed a road in but didn't necessarily want to completely destroy with some big ass bridge. Plus that's some pretty steep for cars to drive up

>progress bad
>you're the commie!
K, snowflake.

> >ask yourself why anyone would spend the money to build and upkeep a bridge for a non-arterial road.
> It's called a 1st world country
Isn't it California in the OP?

Cheaper to build roads on a natural decline rather than building a bridge + support.

When you're a communist/socialist state, you're no longer 1st world.

No car can climb a fucking 45° incline.

>murica
>education system

The steepest incline allowed for federal highways is 7°...

>shit EUtrash brakes
meanwhile every highway in the US has Runaway Truck Ramps where the road crosses anything larger than a hill.

it's dangerous and stupid and cars wouldn't be able to stop at the bottom. You can have the best brakes in the world but if they overheat you will not stop.

real life is not a hot wheels track and cars are heavy objects that carry incredible amounts of momentum.

>wasting money on a bridge and upkeep is equivalent to progress
No its a waste of money

How about when >10% of your population lives below the poverty line, then you're no longer first world? How does that sound?

The national poverty line in america is just higher than other countries.

Fake news.
The US of A are the richest country in the world. The only poor people in the US are lazy people. Anybody who works hard in the US is rich.
Prove me wrong

>what is slope angle

>below the poverty line
do you know what national poverty line means?

Yeah, but with $10 in Indonesia you can grocery shop for the entire month, while with $10 in America you can like maybe pay for a couple of meals on McDonalds.

Not poor just temporarily embarrassed
millionaires! GOD BLESS AMERICA

But 10$ is not below the poverty line in Indonesia. The whole point of a national poverty line is that it's relative to the population of the country. Poverty line in Indonesia is 3,20 USD a day.

Exactly. Do you understand now why and have no point?

Thank you for telling me that my post had a point.

So is that a "no" or a "yes"?

Autistic answer: amount of payload a vehicle can carry up a grade is strongly correlated by that grade. Moreover - braking effort when going down is very strongly correlated with it as well. At certain point the elevation gain takes over all other sources of drag. If you want to have a sensible load/vehicle mass ratio, then you want to have as easy grade as possible.

That is why in civil engineering it is preferred to build roads and railroad at a consistent, low grade. In practice 10% is the maximum a loaded lorry can go when going up and it gets sketchy then. On railroads 2% is considered a significant grade.

For significance of grade look for Spiral Tunnels. Why braking is important, take a look at San Bernardino train disaster from 1989.

Pic related: Tehachapi loop - a railroad loop that adds significant distance to a train route, but it makes it faster anyways, because it makes grade more consistent.

I misread your post. Thought you meant the poverty line was 10$ in both the US and Indonesia.

When your definition is "national poverty line" and you list multiple nations, each with different national poverty lines, and think you've proven something...

>each with different national poverty lines
How is that not fair?

I love when anglo teens who have never lived or have family eho have lived under communism talk about how communism isnt so bad.

That's nothing but anecdotal evidence, I also have poor family. That does not mean that what I think is right.

goods ownership, environment, daily caloric intake as well as nutrient quality to needs.
you're not defining sleeping/living conditions, general health, life expectancy, opportunity for alteration, opportunity for recreation, class mobility or how I can even know a class, etc. etc. etc.
Literally grabbed one creation which is, at least from what I can tell from the chart, entirely arbitrary as well as whole cloth fabricated to make a point that the chart does not make. It's lying with a half a statistic compared to other half statistics.

>stop having safety measures
>implying you can ride air brakes as long as you want

Oh fuck that is a nice photo. I like how the intuition tells you that the locos pulling should make the wagons on the loop tear away from the tracks and "tighten" instead being orderly pulled out along the tracks.

Glorious train in any case.

how the fuck do railroad carts stay on non-straight tracks? Are their "wheels" capable of rotating or some shit?

Each set of whees is on an independent axle and can pivot freely from the direction of the cart. They're not fucking welded on.

At least someone with a brain.

If you asked me to drive through that I'd 100% swerve off the road, srs
fucking hate driving, I'll just sprint to the top

Didn't know there were women on Jow Forums

You've never driven before? Or walked anywhere?

>if conditions are not meet

Yeah I hate driving.

Wheels on a train are conical, actually, not flat, and as a train turns, that cone compensates of the turn to a great degree. Moreover, wheels are mounted to what is called a 'bogie' or a 'truck' in US parlance, which is allowed to rotate. Lastly, outside rail in a turn is usually slightly higher then the inside one, to tilt the train slightly into the turn. Its called counterelevation.

As an autist you should know that those words don't go together like that.

Am also not a native speaker. So kys.

neat

Show this to BART engineers.

Not a car

probably 40% slope
cars will need a headstart from 1km away to built speed
cant imagine what will happen on a rainy day

wheels on non hsr trains arent conical at all because they dont need to

couldn't you just build a giant elevator into the mountain?
it would be a lot better than a steep road or switchbacks

this meme actually illustrates this pretty well

If it wasn't for the image format it would have been fine

They are since XIX century.

Horse drawn carriage brakes are dreadful. So unless you know of a better way to slow down your cart so it doesn't turn in to a terminal velocity speed down a mountain side, by all means, engineer one yourself.

Too steep of an angle and too long. Your average engine would give up before reaching the summit.

Because there's already a fucking cable car that goes up the mountain.
