Section 3: Farm Power

Farm Power

Subtopic: Mechanics of tractor chassis

Question Statement:

A tractor center of gravity is located $0.8\text{ m}$ above ground and tread width is $1.6\text{ m}$. If the tractor drives on a side slope of angle $\theta = 20^\circ$, the overturning factor $\tan\theta / (w / 2h)$ (where $w/2h = 1.0$) is $\tan 20^\circ \approx 0.364$. The margin to overturning $(1 - 0.364)$ is (rounded off to two decimal places):

Answer Key:

0.64

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$w / (2h) = 1.6 / 1.6 = 1.0$. Stability ratio $= 1 - \tan 20^\circ = 1 - 0.364 = 0.636 \approx 0.64$.
