Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a tractor weighing 20 tons with a rolling resistance of 20 kg per ton and ascending a 2% slope, calculate the total power required to tow a load if the tractor can provide 5000 kg of pull.
💡 Hint: Break down the problem into rolling and grade resistance components.
A machine must move up a 3% slope and has a rolling resistance of 15 kg per ton. How much power does it need if it weighs 30 tons?
💡 Hint: Always start with calculating each form of resistance.
