Coefficient of Traction Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Coefficient of Traction?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

f = (\frac{P}{W})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

f = (\frac{18N}{20kg})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

f = (\frac{18}{20})

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

f = 0.9

Go Rolling Resistance to Motion of Wheeled Vehicles

R = (R f \cdot W) + (R p \cdot p \cdot W)

Go Weight on Wheels given Rolling Resistance

W = (\frac{R}{R f + R p \cdot p})

Go Rolling Resistance when Rolling Resistance Factor is Two Percent

R' = (0.02 + 0.015 \cdot p) \cdot W

Go Grade Resistance for Motion on Slope

G = R g \cdot PG \cdot W
