What else can I help you with?
Why is it that railways tracks laid with gaps in between their end?
The gaps between rails allow for expansion from heat. The space for expansion prebents buckling.
Why are there gaps between the steel tracks on a railway line?
You are referring to the gaps between two adjacent rails. Two reasons - 1) depending upon location, gaps are provided under "normal conditions" that will not exist when the rails become very hot (this is because of the rails expanding from heat); 2) gaps are provided which have insulating material inserted to separate rail sections into "blocks" to provide for control of systems such as the wayside signals.
Why is some space left between each of the two rails?
The space between the two rails on a train track allows for thermal expansion and prevents buckling during temperature changes. It also allows for maintenance activities such as track inspections, repairs, and adjustments. Additionally, the space provides room for the wheels of the train to move and absorb any vibrations or imperfections in the track.
When metal railway tracks are laid workers leave a small 1cm space between the rails why is this done?
For heat expansion.
Singular form of this sentence thick rails provided a place to hold onto?
The only plural noun in the sentence is 'rails', the singular noun is 'rail'.The sentence using the singular noun:"The thick rail provided a place to hold onto."
What are railroad track dimensions?
The space between the rails (most of the time {there are exceptions}) is 4 feet 8 and 1/2 inches. Everything else varies.
Why are expansion gaps left between the rails of a railway track?
The gaps you are referring to the small gaps that are left between section of the rail that form each side of the parallel railways for over which railway engines, coaches, trains and trams run. These gaps which are of the order of a few millimeters, are provided to allow room for the rails to expand the rise in temperature due to the atmospheric temperature as well as the friction caused by running of train. All materials expand when heated and contract when cooled. the extent of expansion and contraction is quite low to be noticed by people or make much difference in most situations. However, since each section of the rail is very long, the expansion due to heating is significant, and unless space is provided for expansion of rails, the rails will bend to accommodate the increased length. This will make the railway unfit for running of trains.
The rails on a railroad track have small gaps between sections of metal rails . Why are these gaps needed?
They are there to allow for the expansion of the rails during hot weather.
Is it grammatically correct to say on the space provided for or should for be deleted?
What is grammatically correct is "in the space provided" not "on the space provide" and yes, delete "for"
Why small pieces of stones are provided near the rails of a track?
Its called ballast, and its to allow (rapid) drainage .
What if another style of rail fencing has 6 rails between each pair of post how many rails are needed for 9 sections of this fence?
If there are 6 rails between each pair of posts, you will need one additional rail at each end of the fence. For 9 sections, you will have 10 posts, resulting in 6 rails per section multiplied by 9 sections, which equals 54 rails. Adding the 1 rail at each end, the total number of rails needed is 54 + 2 = 56 rails.
