Traction Numericals PDF

1. A tractor wheel was tested and various parameters like angular speed, input torque, drawbar pull, normal load, and wheel speed were recorded. The question asks to calculate (a) coefficient of traction (b) wheel slippage (c) tractive efficiency. 2. The question asks to predict the maximum traction thrust of a track type tractor given its weight, track width and length, and soil parameters like cohesion and angle of internal friction. 3. Given the drawbar pull, rolling resistance, and tractive efficiency of a tractor, the question asks to calculate the slip experienced by the tractor.
