Rolling Resistance Calculator

Rolling resistance force (F_R):

Rolling resistance coefficient (C_R):

Vehicle mass (m):

Acceleration due to gravity (g):

How This Is Calculated

$$ F_R = C_R mg $$ where:

F_R = Rolling resistance force (N)

C_R = Rolling resistance coefficient (dimensionless)

m = Vehicle mass (kg)

g = Acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

Assumptions

Rolling resistance remains constant.
There is no slip between the tyre and surface.
There are no lateral forces.
The surface is flat.
