Question: 4 . ( 2 0 points ) A wheel - type dozer ( 5 0 0 fwhp ) is going up the hill ( uniform

4.(20 points) A wheel-type dozer (500 fwhp) is going up the hill (uniform slope \(11\%\)) by steady speed 6 mph . It is used to pull a truck (engine shut down) to move soil. This dozer has total weight 95,000 lbs (transferred to drive axle 60\%). The truck has empty weight \(25,000\mathrm{lbs}\). It is loaded \(25,000\mathrm{lbs}\) of soil. The rolling resistance is \(120\mathrm{lb}/\) ton for dozer and \(100\mathrm{lb}/\) ton for truck. These machines are operating at mean sea level. If 20 lbs of rimpull required a ton of weight per \(1\%\) of slope (\(1\mathrm{ton}=2,000\mathrm{lbs}\))
4.1) What is the minimum efficiency of this dozer should develop?
4.2) What is a minimum coefficient of traction required for working without slipping?
4.3) If this dozer has gear condition following the given performance chart, what is the maximum rolling resistance of dozer (\(\mathrm{lb}/\mathrm{ton}\)) for steady speed 3 mph ? if rolling resistance of truck is not changed. Give me the step by step explanation of calculation and answers
