10. A 2WD tractor having atraction wheel of 600 mm diameter was tested in the
field at a forward speed of 0.26 m/s. if the angular speed of the wheel is 10
rev/min, the value of wheel slip is equal to:
a) 15.63 %
b) 16.48 %
c) 17.23 %
d) 18. 67 %
Answer: c

Solution:
Given:
Dr = 600 mm,Va = 0.26 m/s, speed of rear wheel = 10/min

S = 1 – (V a /V t )
V t = (3.14 × 0.60× 10) / 60
V t = 0.314 m/s
S = 1 – (0.26/0.314)
S = 17.23 %
