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.
How is a trailer attached to a tractor?
Depends on what type of tractor and trailer you had in mind. For a farm tractor pulling a trailer, it's usually a pintle on the tractor which is run through a clevice on the trailer.

In the case of an 18 wheeler, air lines will connect from the tractor to the trailer to operate the trailer's air brake system.
What are the dimensions of a wheel surrounding an 18 inch rim?
The dimensions of a wheel surrounding an 18-inch rim vary based on the tire size mounted on the rim. Typically, the overall diameter of the wheel (rim plus tire) will be larger than 18 inches, often ranging from about 24 to 32 inches, depending on the tire's profile and width. For example, a tire with a size designation of 225/60R18 would have an overall diameter of approximately 27 inches. It's essential to check the specific tire specifications to determine the exact dimensions.
