A CAT 631G single engine scraper is hauling an earth and gravel mixture which weighs 2,600lbs per lcy. The struck capacity of the scraper is 24lcy and the heaped capacity is 34 lcy. The empty scraper weighs 105,002 lbs. The scraper's rated load is 81,600 pounds. The loaded scraper is climbing a 8% grade and the tire penetration is 2 inches. The weight distribution when loaded is 52% to the drive wheels and 48% to the rear wheels. The coefficient of traction is 0.45. Compute the required rimpull and the usable rimpull in pounds. Is the coefficient of traction sufficient? Explain your answer.
