A scraper [low pressure rubber tires] is working on a road that is earth (compacted & maintained) as a haul road.
The grade of the road is 2.5 % (cut to fill).
Weight of vehicle is 98000 lb.
Weight of soil to be hauled is 70000 lb.
Calculate the total resistance that the scraper must overcome.

Points A scraper is operating on an earthen road and has penetration of 2.5 in. This scraper has an EVW of 90,000 lb and its GVW is 170,000 lb. The grade from cut to fill is 3%. Calculate the total resistance in both pounds and equivalent grade and also use Using the performance chart given on slide 32 (Numerical Example 1 Equipment Power) determine the speeds
Points: 100 Question 1.(25 Points) A scraper is operating on an earthen road and has penetration of 2.5 in. This scraper has an EVW of 90,000 lb and its GVW is 170,000 lb. The grade from cut to fill is 3%.

A CAT 834H four-wheel tractor (rubber tires, high pressure), with an operating weight of 108,180 lb , is pulled up a road whose slope is + 3 .0% at a uniform speed. If the average tension in the towing cable is 6,060 lb, what is the rolling resistance of the road? Hint: The useable power for overcoming rolling resistance is equal to the tension in the towing table but some of it will be consumed on overcoming grade resistance By...
A contractor is planning to use an excavator to remove the soil for the construction of the foundation for a new hotel. He has determined from the project plans that 3,000 bank cubic yards must be excavated and that 817 compacted cubic yards will be required to backfill the completed foundation. The contractor plans to stockpile the soil needed for backfill on-site and haul the excess soil off-site using trucks that have a heaped capacity of 30 loose cubic yards....
