Subtopic: Soil tillage

Question Statement:

The radius of spherical curvature $R$ of a standard concave plow disc of diameter $D$ and disc depth $d$ is given by:

Options:

  • (A) $R = \frac{D^2}{8d} + \frac{d}{2}$
  • (B) $R = \frac{D}{2d}$
  • (C) $R = \sqrt{D \cdot d}$
  • (D) $R = \frac{D^2}{4d}$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

From geometry of a spherical cap, $R^2 = (D/2)^2 + (R - d)^2 \implies R = \frac{D^2}{8d} + \frac{d}{2}$.
