3 A four-wheel-drive tractor weighs 20,000 kg
and produces a maximum rimpull of 18,160
kg at sea level. The tractor is being operated
at an altitude of 3050 m on wet earth. A pull of
10,000 kg is required to move the tractor and
its load. Can the tractor perform under these
conditions? Use Coefficient of traction = 0.45
