Farm Power

Subtopic: Mechanics of tractor chassis

Question Statement:

A tractor has tread width (track width) $1.5\text{ m}$ and center of gravity height $0.75\text{ m}$ above ground. The critical static side slope overturning angle $\alpha$ satisfies $\tan \alpha = \frac{w}{2 h_{cg}}$. The angle $\alpha$ in degrees is:

Answer Key:

45

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$\tan \alpha = \frac{1.5}{2(0.75)} = \frac{1.5}{1.5} = 1.0 \implies \alpha = 45.0^\circ$.
