What is the psi of an 80000 lb 18-wheel semi trailer on the ground?
To calculate the psi (pounds per square inch) exerted by an 80,000 lb 18-wheel semi-trailer on the ground, you need to consider the number of wheels and the total weight. If the trailer has 18 wheels, the weight per wheel is 80,000 lbs divided by 18, which is approximately 4,444 lbs per wheel. The psi can be calculated by dividing the weight per wheel by the contact area of the tire; for example, if a typical semi-truck tire has a contact patch of about 100 square inches, the psi would be approximately 44.44 psi.
