A two-wheel drive tractor weighing 21 kN has a wheel base of 2.1 m. The CG of the tractor is 0.7 m ahead of rear axle centre. The tractor is pulling a single-axle trailer with gross trailer weight of 50 kN on a leveled concrete road while maintaining the line of pull parallel to the ground surface. The tractor hitch point is 42 cm behind the rear axle centre and 52.5 cm above the ground surface. During operation, 20% of the gross trailer weight is transferred to the tractor hitch point. If the coefficient of rolling resistance for each of the tractor and trailer wheels is taken as 0.04, and their ground reactions are assumed to pass through their respective wheel centres,the gross traction ratio developed by the tractor is
A
0.061
B
0.082
C
0.108
D
0.123

Correct : c
