Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A tractor with a gross weight of 20 tons faces a rolling resistance of 50 kg/ton and climbs a 3% slope. Calculate the total tractive effort required.
💡 Hint: Remember to calculate each resistance component and sum them.
If a vehicle weighs 10 tons and sinks 7 cm into the surface with a rolling resistance of 70 kg/ton, is the total resistance more than 1300 kg?
💡 Hint: Breaking down into smaller components will help clarify the total!
