Neco 2020 Agricultural Science Question 3
Practice objective / multiple choice question 3 from the 2020 Neco Agricultural Science examination.
A tractor has an engine power of \(50\) kW and a transmission efficiency of \(85\)% . It is used to pull a 2‑bottom moldboard plough, each bottom having a width of \(0.25\) m. The soil draft per metre width is estimated by \(D = 0.1 (M+5) d v\) (kN m\(^{-1}\)), where \(M\) is the soil moisture percentage, \(d\) is the tillage depth in cm, and \(v\) is the forward speed in km h\(^{-1}\).\n\nIf the operation is carried out at a speed of \(5\) km h\(^{-1}\) in soil with \(12\)% moisture and a tillage depth of \(15\) cm, determine whether the tractor can maintain this speed without slipping.
