Neco Model Questions Vol1 2017 Agricultural Science Question 13
Practice objective / multiple choice question 13 from the 2017 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer can use either a moldboard plough or a disc plough. The draft required for the moldboard plough is \(D_m = 0.8\,W\) (N) and for the disc plough \(D_d = 0.5\,W + 30\) (N), where \(W\) is the weight of soil turned per furrow in kilograms. The soil bulk density is \(1.4\) g cm\(^{-3}\). Each furrow is \(30\) cm wide, \(20\) cm deep and \(10\) m long. The tractor can supply a maximum draft of \(1500\) N. Which plough can be used without exceeding the tractor's capacity?
