The rolling resistance can be expressed as;

Fr = c W ------> (1)

where

Fr = rolling resistance or rolling friction (N, lbf).
c = rolling resistance coefficient - dimensionless (coefficient of rolling friction - CRF).
W = m ag.
= normal force - or weight - of the body (N, lbf).
m = mass of body (kg, lb).
ag = acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s2, 32.174 ft/s2).

The rolling resistance can alternatively be expressed as;

Fr = cl W / r ------> (2)

where

cl = rolling resistance coefficient - dimension length (coefficient of rolling friction) (mm, in)
r = radius of wheel (mm, in)

Coefficient of friction*weight.
= 63500*0.018 = 1143.
